Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

 
D Bm
And now I’m all alone again
G A
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
D Bm
Without a home, without a friend
G A
Without a face to say hello to
D Bm
And now the night is near
G A
Now I can make believe he’s here
 

Verse 2

 
D Bm
Sometimes I walk alone at night
G A
When everybody else is sleeping
D Bm
I think of him and then I’m happy
G A
With the company I’m keeping
D Bm
The city goes to bed
G A
And I can live inside my head
 

Chorus

 
D Bm G
On my own, pretending he’s beside me
A D Bm
All alone, I walk with him till morning
G A
Without him, I feel his arms around me
D Bm
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
G
And he has found me
 

Verse 3

 
D Bm
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
G A
All the lights are misty in the river
D Bm
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
G A
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
 

Chorus

 
D Bm
And I know it’s only in my mind
G A
That I’m talking to myself and not to him
D Bm
And although I know that he is blind
G A
Still I say there’s a way for us
 

Bridge

 
D
I love him
Bm
But when the night is over
G A
He is gone, the river’s just a river
D Bm
Without him, the world around me changes
G A
The trees are bare and everywhere
D Bm
The streets are full of strangers
 

Chorus

 
D
I love him
Bm
But every day I’m learning
G A
All my life I’ve only been pretending
D Bm
Without me, his world will go on turning
G A
A world that’s full of happiness
D Bm
That I have never known
G
I love him
A
I love him
D
I love him
Bm
But only on my own
 

Practice tip: Master the D-Bm-G-A chord progression slowly before adding the vocal melody, as it forms the backbone of the entire song.
