Intro: Am Am7+ Am7  Am6 Am7 Am7+ Am E7/9-

         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
