Am                    C                     G              D   Dsus2 \ 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  Dsus2 \ D
only to trip at the sound of goodbye

Am                     C                       G
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty 
         D  Dsus2 \ D
place in-side
Am                      C                         G
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear
      D      Am  C     G   D
a goodbye or even  hello?

They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three together,   they
    G  Dm    C
are for each other

Am                           C                        G
Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion
        D   Dsus2 \ D
has its cost.
Am                    C                   G               C      D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost and
Am     C       G  D
choking on hello.

         G   Gsus4 \ G        G     Gsus4 \ G      G       Gsus4 \ G
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three together,   they
    G  Dm    C
are for each other
