Verse 1
       D       Em/D          D        D/C#
On my own, Pretending he's beside me
      Bm      E7                  A     A/G#
All alone, I walk with him till morning   
   G           F#7            Bm
Without him, I feel his arms around me
    Em                           Em/D              A
And when I lose my way I close my eyes, And he has found me

Verse 2
        D        Em/D            D          D/C#
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
         Bm         E7           A    A/G#
All the lights are misty in the river
      G              F#7               Bm
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
    Em                         Em/D         A
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever

Bridge

       Bb       Cm7b5      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                       B    B7 
And although I know that he is blind
         Am7-hold       C7-hold
Still I say, there's a way for us

Verse 3
   
        F        Gm                F    F/E
I love him, But when the night is over
       Dm        G7             C    C/B
He is gone, the river's just a river
   Bb             A7              Dm
Without him the world around me changes
     Gm                                 Gm/F                  C
The trees are bare and everywhere, the streets are full of strangers

Verse 4
       
        F        Gm            F        F/E
I love him, But every day I'm learning
        Dm        G7         C
All my life I've only been pretending
   Bb           A7                Dm
Without me his world will go on turning
   Gm                                 Gm/F           C-hold
A world that's full of happiness, that I have never known

Ending

        F           F7       Bb         Bbm         F
I love him, I love him, I love him, but only on my own
