Intro: [ Am7 ]          [ C ]       [ G ]       [ D ]

Am                     C                     G              D
Helplessly hoping her  harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am                     C                     G                     D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
        Am          C             G     D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...  
Am                     C                       G                            D
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place in side
Am                     C                         G                         D
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodb ye 
   Am       C      G     C/G
or even...     hel-lo?   

(Chorus)
         G                       
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, 
         G     G7        C       G
they are for...     each other   
c:Hammer an Am onto open strings - resolve to G

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

{Chorus}
