On My Own

• D

 
    D       Em             D         D/C# 
On my own, pretending hes beside me, 
     Bm        E               A        Am7 
All alone, I walk with him till morning, 
   G           F#7            Bm 
Without him, I feel his arms around me, 
    Em                                            A 
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me. 

        D        Em/D            D          D/C# 
In the rain the pavement shines like silver 
         Bm         E7           A    A/G# 
All the lights are misty in the river 
      G              F#7               Bm 
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight 
    Em                         Em/D         A 
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever 

      Bb        G#7        Bb     Bb/A 
And I know its only in my mind, 
         Gm           Gm7          Eb 
That Im talking to myself and not to him, 
      Em                       B     B7 
And although I know that he is blind, 
        C             C7 
Still I say theres a way for us. 

  F             Gm                F    F/E 
I love him, but when the night is over, 
      Dm        G              C    Cm7 
He is gone, the rivers just a river, 
  Bb            A7              Dm 
Without him the world around me changes, 
    Gm                                                    C 
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers. 

I love him, But every day I'm learning 
        Dm        G7         C 
All my life I've only been pretending 
   Bb           A7                Dm 
Without me his world will go on turning 
   Gm                                 Gm/F           C 
A world that's full of happiness, that I have never known 

F           F7          Bb 
I love him, I love him, I love him, 
    F#7        F 
But only on my own.
