[Intro]
Am   C  G            D
 
[Verse 1]
Am                C                            G C   G C       D
Helplessly hoping her     harlequin hovers nearby,  awaiting a word
Am                  C                               G   C   G      C         D
Gasping at glimpses of        gentle true spirit he runs    wishing he could fly
        Am          C            G   D
only to trip at the sound of goodbye
 
[Verse 2]
Am                  C                                 G      C   G   C           D
Wordlessly watching he        waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside
Am                  C                                 G       C   G  C          D
Heartlessly helping him  -  self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodbye
Am   C      G
or  even hello?
 
{ CHORUS }
         G
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together,
         G             C     G   C  *  G
they are for     each other
 
[Verse 3]
Am                    C                                G    C   G        C        D
Stand by the stairway you'll  see something certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Am              C                          G      C   G      C      D
Love isn't lying it's  loose in a lady who lingers,   saying she is lost
    Am     C      G
and choking on hello
 
{ CHORUS }
         G
They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together,
         G             C     G   C  *  G
they are for     each other
