[Verse]
     D       Em7              D      D/C#
On my own, pretending he's beside me,
    Bm7      E7                 A       A/G#
All alone, I walk with him till morning,
   G           F#7            Bm7      
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
    Em7                           Em/D            A        
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.
        D        Em7                  D      D/C#
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver,
         Bm7       E7               A A/G#
All the lights are misty in the river,
   G                 F#7                Bm7      
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight,
    Em7                        Em/D        A    
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.

[Pre-Chorus]
      Bb         Ebm/Bb     Bb  Bb/A
And I know it's only in my mind,
          Gm           Gm7          Eb    
That I'm talking to myself and not to him,
      Em                       B     B7
And although I know that he is blind,
        Am7           C7         
Still I say there's a way for us.

[Chorus]
  F             Gm/F              F    F/E
I love him, but when the night is over,
      Dm        G7              C    C/B
He is gone, the river's just a river,
  Bb            A7              Dm      
Without him the world around me changes,
    Gm                                Gm7                 C         
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.
  F             Gm                 F   F/E
I love him, but every day I'm learning,
      Dm         G7             C     C/B
All my life I've only been pretending,
  Bb            A7              Dm      
Without me his world will go on turning,
    Gm                                                   C
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known.

[Outro]
F           F7/Eb          Dm      
I love him, I love him, I love him,
    Bbm/Db      F  
But only on my own.
