[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
A7 Dm                   Dm    
■  ■  I've been so many places
      A7           
In my life and time
Dm7                    Dm   
■   I've sung a lot of songs
                   Dm    
I've made some bad rhymes
Bb                   Bb      F      Gm7
■  I've acted out my life in stages ■  
F                      F        Bb
■ With ten zero people watching ■ 
                Am 
But we're alone now
        Csus4             Bb F  
And I'm singing this song to you
Dm                        
■  I know your image of me
                   Dm
Is what I hoped to be
              F       
I treated you unkindly
                      Bb 
But darling can't you see
               F                    Gm7
There's no one more important to me ■  
F                          Bb
Baby can't you see through me


[Chorus]
F                        Csus4
■ 'cause we're alone now ■    
                     F          
And I'm singing this song to you
Dm                               
■  You taught me precious secrets
F              B7             Bb     
Of a true love ■  withholding nothing
Csus4                 C7      F            Dm
You came out in front ■  when I was hiding ■ 
        Dm            
Now I'm so much better
F                            Bb      
■ And if my words don't come together
              F     
Listen to the melody
          G7               C      Bb
'cause my love is in there hiding ■

A7 Dm                       A7
■  ■  I love you in a place ■ 
                          A7  
Where there's no space or time
  F                   
I love you for my life
                        Bb
You're a friend of mine ■ 
                    F   
And when my life is over
Gm7 F                     Bb      
■   Remember when we were together

■ We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

I love you for my life

And I was singing this song
