Intro: A5 C5 G5 D5 
 
A5                    C5                    G5 
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby 
           D5 
Awaiting a word 
A5                     C5 
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit 
   G5                      D5 
He runs, wishing he could fly 
        A5          C5            G5 D5 
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye 
A5                      C5 
Wordlessly watching, he waits by the window 
    G5                           D5 
And wonders at the empty place inside 
A5                     C5 
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams 
   G5                          D5 
He worries, did he hear a goodbye 
   A5 C5     G5 D5 
Or even hello 
 

G5 
They are one person 
G5 
They are two alone 
G5 
They are three together 
         F5    C5         G5 
They are four for each other 
 
 
A5                            C5 
Stand by the stairway, you'll see something 
             G5                         D5 
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost 
A5                      C5 
Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady 
     G5                      D5 
Who lingers, saying she is lost 
     A5   C5   G5    D5 
And choking on hello
