Intro: Am Am7+ Am7 Am6 Am7 Am7+ Am E7/9- Esus4

  Am             Am7+           Am7       Am6
I've been so many places in my life and time 
  C                                F#m5-/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 singing this song for you 
  Am            Am7+           Am7       Am6
I know your image of me is what I hope to be 
C                                  F#m5-/7
I treated you unkindly but darlin' 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 singing this song for you 
Am7              E7        C           F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 
 F        G6            C
You came out in front and I was hiding 
Em7  Am         E7          C           F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together 
F           Em       Dm          G7
Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding 
  Am             E7
I love you in a place where there's no space or time 
  C                F#m5-/7                               F        Em7
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine and when my life is over 
 Dm7         Em7
Remember when we were together 
 Dm7      Em7              F       C   E7
We were alone and I was singing this song for you 
Am7              E7        C           F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 
 F        G6            C
You came out in front and I was hiding 
Em7  Am         E7          C           F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together 
F           Em       Dm          G7
Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding 
Dm7       Em7          F         C
We were alone and I was singing this song for you 
Dm7       Em7          Bb                G#      A7   C7M
We were alone and I was singing this song, singing this song for you
