Helplessly hoping her     harlequin hovers nearby, awaiting a word.

Am7                 Csus2/B C                     G                     D   Dsus2 D
Gasping at glimpses of      gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly,

        Am7     Csus2/B C            G    C/G  D  Dsus2 D*
only to trip at the     sound of goodbye...

Wordlessly watching he      waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside.

Am7                 Csus2/B C                         G                         D   Dsus2 D
Heartlessly helping him  -  self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodbye,

   Am7  Csus2/B C   G   C/G*
or even...          hello?
[Chorus]
         G      C/G           G    C/G            G       C/G
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together,

         G*  Fmaj7*   C    Csus2 C   G  C/G G
they are for...  each other.

they are for...  each other.

Stand by the stairway you'll  see something certain to tell you confusion has its cost.

Am7              Csus2/B C                   G                      D   Dsus2 D
Love isn't lying it's    loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost

    Am7    Csus2/B C   G   C/G*
and choking...      on hello.
[Outro]
         G      C/G           G    C/G            G       C/G
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together,

         G*  Fmaj7*   C    Csus2 C   G  C/G G
they are for...  each other.
