[Verse]
Dm                             A7/C#
I've been so many places in my life and time

Dm/C                         Bm7
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme

     BbM7                  Am7            Gm7                Am7
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching

Dm                 F/C
   But we're alone now

                Bb/C            F  A7/C#
And I'm singing this song for you

Dm                                  A7/C#
  I know your image of me is what I hope to be

Dm/C                           Bm7
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see

        Bb                    Am
There's no one more important to me

Gm7                          Am7
Darling can't you please see through me

Bb                   F/C
   Cause we're alone now

                Bb/C             F
And I'm singing this song for you
[Chorus]
C/E     Dm               Dm/C#
   You taught me precious secrets

        Dm/C              Bm7
of the Truth, withholding nothin'

Bb               Bb/C                F
  You came out in front when I was hiding

    Dm              Dm/C#
But now I'm so much better

          Dm/C                Bm7
and if my words don't come together

Bb                 Am7        G7sus   G7       Bb/C
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time

I love you for my life you're a friend of mine

    Bb              Am7
And when my life is over

Remember when we were together
