Intro: [ A5 ]          [ C5 ]       [ G5 ]       [ D5 ]

A5                     C5                     G5              D5
Helplessly hoping her  harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
A5                     C5                     G5                     D5
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
        A5          C5             G5     D5
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...  
A5                     C5                       G5                            D5
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place in side
A5                     C5                         G5                         D5
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodb ye 
   A5       C5      G5     C5
or even...     hel-lo?   

(Chorus)
         G5                       
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, 
         G5     G5        C5       G5
they are for...     each other   
c:Hammer an A5 onto open strings - resolve to G5

A5                          C5                        G5
Stand by the starway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion has its
 D5
 cost.
A5                    C5                   G5                      D5
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost 
    A5     C5           G5      C5
and choking...   on hello.

{Chorus}
