Introduction:  Am   Am7M   Am7   Am6   Am7   Am7M   Am  

                   Am                               Am7M                 Am7                     Am6 
I've   been so many places in my life and time
                 C                                                                                                     Fm7(b5) 
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                     Am7M                       Am7                     Am6 
I       know your image of me is what I hope to be
                 C                                                                         Fm7(b5) 
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#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 
           C 
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#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
               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
