Am7               G   C    C    
Helplessly hoping her harlequin 
C          G   G6  G      
hovers nearby, awaiting a 
D  D     D
word
Am7                 G         
Gasping at glimpses of        
C  C   C              G    
gentle true spirit he runs 
G6  G            D
wishing he could fly
        Am7         
only to trip at the 
C            G    D D     D
sound of goodbye
 

Am7                 G         
Wordlessly watching he        
C     C      C          G       
waits by the window and wonders 
G6 G               D   D     D
at the empty place inside
Am7                 G       C    
Heartlessly helping him  -  self 
C      C             G       
to her bad dreams he worries 
G6  G             D D     D
did he hear a goodbye
Am7  C      G   G    
or  even hello?
 

         G5  G                
They are one person, they are 
G5  G               G5    G    
two alone, they are three together,
         G5  G7        C     
they are for     each other      

G   C     G
 

Am7                    
Stand by the stairway 
G       C  
you'll  see 
C    C               
something certain to 
G                  
tell you confusion 
        D D     D
has its cost
Am7                   
Love isn't lying it's 
C                   
loose in a lady who 
G                      
lingers, saying she is
D D     D 
lost
    Am7    C     G   G    
and choking on hello
 

         G5  G                
They are one person, they are 
G5  G               G5    
two alone, they are three 
G    
together,
         G5 G7       C      
They are for    each other
