The Carpenters

Tom: G


  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
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
  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
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
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
