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
I've acted out my life in stages. 
                        Dm7                  Em7
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
There's no one more important  to me
          Dm7                             Em7
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                    Fm#5-/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
