Lyrics

I’ve been so man y plac es

I’ve sung a lot of songs; I’ve made some bad rhyme.

I’ve (Bb)act ed out my love in stag es

But we’re a lone (Am7)now and I’m sing ing (Bb)this song to you.

I know your im age of me is (F)what I hope to be.

I treat ed you un kind ly but, dar (B)ling,

can’t you see

there’s (Bb)no one more im por tant to me?

Dar ling, can’t you please see through me,

’cause we’re a lone (F)now and I’m sing ing (Bb)this song to you.

You (Dm)taught me pre cious (F)se crets of the truth, with hold ing noth ing.

You came out in front and I was hid ing.

But now I’m so much (F)bet ter.

And (F6)if my words don’t come to geth er,

lis ten to the mel o dy ’cause my love’s in there hid (C7sus4)ing.

I love you in a place where there’s no (C#)space and time.

I love you, for in my life you are a friend of mine.

And when my life is o ver,

We were a lone (Am7)and I was sing ing (Bb)this song to you.

(Bb)this song to you.

We were a lone (Am7)and I was sing ing (Bb)this song to you.

We were a lone (Am7)and I was sing ing (Eb)my song,

sing ing this song for you.
