Tom: E
C#m G#7
I've been so many places in my life and time
E A#m7-5
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
A G#m7
I've acted out my life in stages
F#m7 G#m7
With ten thousand people watching
F#m7 G#m7 A E G#7
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
C#m7 G#7
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
E A#m7
I treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
A G#m7
There's no one more important to me
F#m7 G#m7
Baby, can't you please see through me
F#m7 G#m7 A E G#7
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
[Refrão]
C#m7 G#7
E A#m7-5
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
A B6 E
You came out in front and I was hiding
G#m7 C#m
G#7 E A#m7-5
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
A G#m F#m B7
Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding
[Próxima Parte]
C#m G#7
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
E A#m7-5
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
A G#m7
And when my life is over
F#m7 G#m7
Remember when we were together
F#m7 G#m7 A E G#7
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
F#m7 G#m7 A E
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
F#m7 G#m7 D C C#7 Emaj7
We were alone and I was singing this song, singing this song for you
