|Dm                              |A/C#         |
   I've been so many places in my life and time
|F/C                                      |Bm7b5    |
   I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
    |Bb                   Am7         |Gm7                 Am7     |
I've acted out my love in stages, with ten thousand people watching
|Bb                Bb/C               |Bb/C   -        F   4eA/C#   |
   But we're alone now and I'm singing this   song for you

|Dm                          |A/C#             |
   I know your image of me is what I hope to be
|F/C                                |Bm7b5            |
   I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
       |Bb                    Am7   |Gm7                         Am7       |
There's no one more important to me, daring can't you please see through me
|Bb                  Bb/C               |24Bb/C         |44F   -  -  C/E    |
   Cause we're alone now and I'm singing  this song for  you

   |Dm                 A/C#          |F/C               Bm7b5   |
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
|Bb    -           Csus4     C    |F     -  -  C/E    |
   You came out in front and I was hiding
   |Dm              A/C#            |F/C                Bm7b5   |
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
|Bb                Am7        |24Gm7     G/B     |44C     |C   |
 Listen to the melody cause my  love is in there  hiding

 |Dm                                |A/C#         |
I love you in place where there's no space or time
 |F/C                              |Bm7b5         |
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
   |Bb              Am7   |Gm7                  |Am7   |
And when my life is over remember when we were together
|Bb              Bb/C              |24Bb/C         |44F   -  -  4nC/E    |
   We were alone and I  was singing  this song for  you
