Intro- I don't have the CD, but in a live recording, it started:

D Dmaj7 D7 (Hold)

G             D/F#
Oh dear out here,
G7                                C 
Everybody stumbles on fear.
Cm                 G  
Who cares if we’re scared?
D                                 B7 
Everyone is on their own.

Em                                C
It’s only you that my heart desires.
D                                  G
Only you alone can know my pain.
Em                            C
All alone you were sitting there,
D                                       B7
Folding pages for your paper chain.

C                                     C#dim
Now you can cut me free (now you can cut me free),
C                                  C#dim
So when it all unfolds (so when it all unfolds),
C                                  C#dim
We’ll be holding hands and go on,
D                             B7
Together you and I forever.

G                     D/F#
Heart breaks, mistakes,
G7                                  C
Catching up to me in old ways.
Cm              G
I know of hard days.
D                                        B7
Had my share of lonely nights.

Em                                   C
Its only you that my heart desires.
D                                 G
Only you alone can break my fall.
Em                                  C
I pace the floor and I wish for more,
D                                                             B7
While you were dreaming with your paper dolls.

C                                      C#dim
Now you can cut me free (now you can cut me free),
C                              C#dim
Forever say goodbye (forever say goodbye),
C                                     C#dim
Or well be holding hands and go on,
D                              B7
Together you and I forever.

G                D/F#
Poor dear out here,
G7                                C
Everybody stumbles on fear.
Cm                  G
Who cares if you’re scared?
D                                B7
Everyone is on their own.
       G
Oh dear.
