Intro: Am Am7+ Am7 Am6 Am7 Am7+ Am E7/9-
Am Am7+ Am7 Am6
I've been so many places in my life and time
C Fm5-/7
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
I've acted out my life in stages, with ten thousand people watching
Dm7 Em7 F C E7
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
Am Am7+ Am7 Am6
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
C Fm5-/7
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
There's no one more important to me, baby can't you please see through me
Dm7 Em7 F C E7
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you.
Am7 E7 C F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, with holdin' nothin'
F G6 C
You came out in front and I was hiding
Em7 Am7 E7 C F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together
F Em7 Dm7 G7
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there, hiding
Am Am7+ Am7 Am6
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
C F#m5-/7
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
F Em7 Dm7 Em7
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
Dm7 Em7 F C E7
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
Am7 E7 C F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, with holdin' nothin'
F G6 C
You came out in front and I was hiding
Em7 Am7 E7 C F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together
F Em7 Dm7 G7
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there, hiding
Dm7 Em7 F C E7
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
Dm7 Em7 F G#7 G7 C7M
We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you
