Verse 1
[Am] I've been so many places in [E7/G#]my life and time
[C/G] I've sung a lot of songs, [D7/F#]I've made some bad rhyme
[F] I've acted out my life in [Em7]stages with [Dm7]ten thousand people [Em7]watching
[Dm7] But we're alone [Em7]now
And I'm singing [F/G]this song to [C]you[E7]
Verse 2
[Am] I know your image of me [E7/G#]is what I hope to be
[C/G] I treated you unkindly [D7/F#]but darling can't you see
[F] There's no one more important [Em7]to me
[Dm7] Baby, can't you see [Em7]through me
[Dm7] Cause we're alone [Em7]now
And I'm singing [F/G]this song to [C]you[E7]

Of a [C/G]true love, withholding [F#m7b5]nothing

But [Am]now I'm so much [Am/G#]better and if
My [C/G]words don't come [F#m7b5]together
[F]Listen to the [Em7]melody cause my [Dm]love is in there [G7sus4]hiding
