Intro Am9  D9  x 4 

A9
I've been so many places 
D9
in my life and time 
G9
I've sung a lot of songs 
F#7/5-
I've made some bad rhyme.   
Fmaj7/9             C/E
I've acted my life in stages 
F                       E7/A   Am7
with ten thousand people watch - ing   
F           C/E        G4/7
 but we're alone now and I'm singing my song 
     C  E7/G#
 for you...   
Am                   E7/G#
I know your image of me...is what I hope to be...   
Am/G               D7/F#
I've treated you unkindly but girl can't you see   
Fmaj7/9       C2/E
there's no one more important to me?   
Dm7                    C/E
So, darling, can't you see through me?   
F          C/E         G4/7
  ?Cause we're alone now and I'm singing my  
       C   E7/G#
song for you...   
Am           E/G#       Cmaj7/G
 You taught me precious secrets,    the truth  
           F#7/5-
with holding nothing; 
Fmaj7    G4/7               F/C C
you came out in front and I was hiding...  
E/G#     E  Am         E7/G#
     Ooh, but now  I'm so much better   
Am/G              F#7/5-
 so if my words don't come together,   
F           C/E   D7
listen to the melody...?Cause my love's in there hiding...
