Key: D
Introduction: D G D G
D Em7 D C#m7
On my own, pretending he' s beside me,
Bm7 E7 A G#m7
All alone, I walk with him till morning,
G F#7 Bm7
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
Em7 G A
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.
D Em7 D C#m7
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver,
Bm7 E7 A G#m7
All the lights are misty in the river,
G F#7 Bm7
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight,
Em7 G A
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.
A# Cm7 A# A#m7
And I know it' s only in my mind,
Gm Gm7 Eb
That I' m talking to myself and not to him,
Em B B7
And although I know that he is blind,
Am7 C
Still I say there' s a way for us.
F Gm F Em7
I love him, but when the night is over,
Dm G C Bm7
He is gone, the river' s just a river,
A# A7 Dm
Without him the world around me changes,
Gm C
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.
F Gm F Em7
I love him, but every day I' m learning,
Dm G C Bm7
All my life I' ve only been pretending,
A# A7 Dm
Without me his world will go on turning,
Gm C
A world that' s full of happiness that I have never known.
F F7 A#
I love him, I love him, I love him,
Bbm F
But only on my own.
