Am Am7M Am7 Am6
I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme

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 Am7M Am7 Am6
I know your image of me is what I hope to be

I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see

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#m7(b5)
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#m7(b5)
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 Am7M Am7 Am6
I love you in a place where there's no space or time

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

We were alone and I was singin' this song for you.
