D
On my own
      Em                D
Pretending he's beside me
       Bm
All alone
  E7                     A
I walk with him till morning
     G
Without him
  F#7                 Bm
I feel his arms around me
       Em                        G
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
                  A
And he has found me

        D
In the rain
       Em               D
The pavement shines like silver
       Bm
All the lights
    E7          A
Are misty in the river
       G
In the darkness
      F#7              Bm
The trees are full of starlight
    Em                     G
And all I see is him and me forever
        A
And forever

         Bb          Eb/Bb       Bb   Bb/A
And I know it's only in my mind
             Gm              Gm/F             Eb
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
          Em                              B7  B7(13-)
And although I know that he is blind
         C             C
Still I say there's a way for us

         F
I love him
       Bb/F           F
But when the night is over
         Dm
He is gone
       G7              C
The river's just a river
       Bb
Without him
       A7           Dm
The world around me changes
       Gm
The trees are bare and everywhere
       Gm/F                    C
The streets are full of strangers

   F
I love him
     Bb/7        F
But every day I'm learning
      Dm
All my life
     G7       C
I've only been pretending
   Bb
Without me
   A                Dm
His world will go on turning
     Gm
A world that's full of happiness
    Gm/F            C
That I have never known

         F
I love him
         F/Eb
I love him
         Dm
I love him
       Bbm        F
But only on my own
