INTRO:Am7 C G D

#1.
Am
Helplessly hoping,
    C                    G
Her harlequin hovers nearby.
G          D     Am            
Awaiting a word, gasping at glimpses
   C                      G
of gentle true spirit, he runs, 
G                D
wishing he could fly,
        Am7               C       G   D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye.

#2.
Am
Wordlessly watching,
   C                          G
he waits by the window and wonders,
                   D
at the empty place inside.
Am                     C
Heartlessly helping himself to her
               G
bad dreams, he worries..
                   D       Am7  C    G
Did he hear a good-bye, or even hel..lo?

CHORUS:

Am/G
They are one person, they are two alone.
                                      Dm/F C
They are three together, they are for each other.


#3.
Am                            C
Stand by the stairway, you'll see something
                G                      D
certain to tell you, confusion has its cost.
Am                     C                      G
Love isn't lying..it's loose in a lady who lingers
             D       Am7            C    G 
saying.. she is lost and choking on hel..lo.


CHORUS:
Am/G
They are one person, they are two alone.
                                      Dm/F C     G
They are three together, they are for each other.
