         Am                Am7+         Am7           Am6       
I've  been so many places in my life and time 
        C                                                   Fm5-/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 singin' this song for you 
         Am           Am7+            Am7           Am6       
I    know your image of me is what I hope to be 
        C                                     Fm5-/7 
I've treated you unkindly but baby 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 singin' this song for you. 
         Am7                      E7                     C               F#m5-/7 
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin' 
            F                G6                     C 
You came out in front and I was hiding 
         Em7          Am7      E7           C                                     F#m5-/7 
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together 
                        F          Em7    Dm7        G7 
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there,  hiding 
    Am                     Am7+                 Am7               Am6   
I     love you in a place where there's no space or time; 
     C                    F#m5-/7            
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine, 
         F             Em7               Dm7                        Em7 
And when my life is  over, remember when we were together 
       Dm7      Em7                F                C           E7            
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you. 
         Am7                      E7                     C               F#m5-/7 
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin' 
            F                G6                     C 
You came out in front and I was hiding 
         Em7          Am7      E7            C                                     F#m5-/7 
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together 
                        F          Em7    Dm7        G7 
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there, hiding 
       Dm7                 Em7                F                C     E7            
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you 
       Dm7                            Em7         F        G#7             G7         C7M   
We were alone and I was singin' this song,  singin' this song for you
