From the official Les Miserables notes.




INTRO: D  Em  D  Em


VERSE 1:
       D (xx0232@1)     Em/D (010000@1)          D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)On my own, pretending he's beside me.

      Bm (x24432@1)    E7 (020130@1)               A (x02220@1)   A/G# (402220@1)All alone, I walk with him till morning.

         G (320003@1)    F#7 (242352@1)          Bm (x24432@1)Without him, I feel his arms around me.

     Em (022000@1)                          Em/D (010000@1)          A (x02220@1)And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me!



VERSE 2:
        D (xx0232@1)       Em/D (010000@1)               D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)In the rain, the pavement shines like silver.

         Bm (x24432@1)       E7 (020130@1)         A (x02220@1)  A/G# (402220@1)All the lights are misty in the river.

        G (320003@1)           F#7 (242352@1)             Bm (x24432@1)In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight.

     Em (022000@1)                       Em/D (010000@1)      A (x02220@1)And all I see is him and me forever and forever.



BRIDGE:
       Bb (x1333x@1)      Cbm5/Bb    Bb (x1333x@1)Bb/A
 And I know it's only in my mind,

          Gm (355333@1)         Bb/F (102220@1)          Eb (x43121@3)that I'm talking to myself and not to him.

         Em (022000@1)                    B (x2444x@1)  B7 (x21202@1)And, although I know that he is blind,

         Am7 (x02010@1)         C7 (x32310@1)still I say there's a way for us.



VERSE 3:
   F (133211@1)           Gm/F              F (133211@1) F/E (xx2211@1)I love him. But when the night is over.

       Dm (xx0231@1)      G7 (320001@1)           C (x32010@1)  C/B (x2555x@1)He is gone, the river's just a river.

     Bb (x1333x@1)         A (x02220@1)             Dm (xx0231@1)Without him, the world around me changes,

     Gm (355333@1)                              Gm/F                C (x32010@1)the trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.



VERSE 4:
   F (133211@1)           Bb/F (102220@1)        F (133211@1)     F/E (xx2211@1)I love him, but every day I'm learning.

        Dm (xx0231@1)       G7 (320001@1)         C (x32010@1)    C/B (x2555x@1)All my life, I've only been pretending.

     Bb (x1333x@1)        A (x02220@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)Without me, his world will go on turning.

   Gm (355333@1)                                             C (x32010@1)A world that's full of happiness that I have never known.



ENDING:
   F (133211@1)I love him,

   F/Eb
 I love him,

   Dm (xx0231@1)I love him,

     Bbm/Db     F (133211@1)but only on my own.
