D
On my own
Em D D/C#
Pretending he's beside me
Bm
All alone
E7 A A/G#
I walk with him till morning
G
Without him
F#7 Bm
I feel his arms around me
Em
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
A
And he has found me
repeat for second verse
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
Bb Eb/Bb Bb Bb/A
And I know it's only in my mind
Gm Gm/F Eb
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
Em B7 B7/13b
And although I know that he is blind
C
Still I say there's a way for us
F
I love him
Bb/F F F/E
But when the night is over
Dm
He is gone
G7 C C/B
The river's just a river
Bb
Without him
A7 Dm
The world around me changes
Gm
The trees are bare and everywhere
Gm/F C
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
F
I love him
F/Eb
I love him
Dm
I love him
Bbm6 F
But only on my own
