Chords

Standard

D       Em             D      
On my own, pretending hes beside me,
     Bm        E               A        Am7
All alone, I walk with him till morning,
   G           F#7            Bm
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
    Em                                            A
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.


        D        Em                   D    
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver,
         Bm         E            A     Am7
All the lights are misty in the river,
       G             F#7                Bm 
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight,
    Em                                   A
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.

      Bb        G#7        Bb   
And I know its only in my mind,
         Gm           Gm7          Eb
That Im talking to myself and not to him,
      Em                       B         B7
And although I know that he is blind,
        C             C7
Still I say there's a way for us.


  F             Gm                F    
I love him, but when the night is over,
      Dm        G              C        Cm7
He is gone, the rivers just a river,
  Bb            A7              Dm
Without him the world around me changes,
    Gm                                                    C
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.

  F             Gm            F
I love him, but every day im learning,
        Dm       G           C
All my life Ive only been pretending,
  Bb           A7                 Dm
Without me his world will go on turning,
  Gm                                               C
A world thats full of happiness that I have never known.


F           F7          Bb
I love him, I love him, I love him,
    F#7        F
But only on my own.
