|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
|Dm |A/C# |F/C |Bm7b5 |
|Bb Am7 |Gm7 Am7 |Bb Bb/C |Bb/C - F 4nC/E |

But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
