D  
On my own  
      Em                D          D/C#  
Pretending he's beside me  
       Bm  
All alone  
  E7                     A          A/G#  
I walk with him till morning  
     G  
Without him  
  F#7                 Bm  
I feel his arms around me  
       Em  
And when I lose my way I close my eyes  
                  A  
And he has found me  


repeat for second verse 

In the rain the pavement shines like silver  
All the lights are misty in the river  
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight  
And all I see is him and me forever and forever  

         Bb          Eb/Bb       Bb   Bb/A  
And I know it's only in my mind  
             Gm              Gm/F             Eb  
That I'm talking to myself and not to him  
          Em                              B7  B7/13b  
And although I know that he is blind  
         C  
Still I say there's a way for us  

         F  
I love him  
       Bb/F                  F     F/E  
But when the night is over  
         Dm  
He is gone  
       G7              C     C/B  
The river's just a river  
       Bb  
Without him  
       A7                     Dm  
The world around me changes  
       Gm  
The trees are bare and everywhere  
       Gm/F                    C  
The streets are full of strangers  

I love him  
But every day I'm learning  
All my life  
I've only been pretending  
Without me  
His world will go on turning  
A world that's full of happiness  
That I have never known  

         F  
I love him  
         F/Eb  
I love him  
         Dm  
I love him  
       Bbm6        F  
But only on my own
