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

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever 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  B7/13b
And although I know that he is blind
         C
Still I say there's a way for us

         F
I love him
       Bb/F                  F     F/E
But when the night is over
         Dm
He is gone
       G7              C     C/B
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

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

         F
I love him
         F/Eb
I love him
         Dm
I love him
       Bbm6        F
But only on my own
