[Verse 1]

Dm                                A7/C#
   I've been so many places in my life and time,
F/C                                               G7/B
   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,
Gm7                Am7          Bb                       F
   but we're alone now, and I'm singing this song to you.


[Verse 2]

Dm                         A7/C#
I know your image of me is what I hope to be,
F/C                              G7/B
   I treated you unkindly, but darlin' can't you see,
        Bb                    Am7    Gm7                          Am7
There's no one more important to me, darlin' can't you please see through me,
Gm7                Am7                 Bb               F
   Cus we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you.


[Verse 3]

Dm                     A7/C#             F/C                 G7/B
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing,
Bb                 Bb/C          C     F       F/E
   You came out in front and I was hiding,
    Dm              A7/C#          F/C                    G7/B
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together,
Bb                Am7              Gm7             C7
    Listen to the melody, cause my love's in there hiding.

F/C                                    G7/B
   I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,
Bb                     Am7     Gm7                   Am7
   And when my life is over, remember when we were together,
