On My Own

On my (D)own, (Em)pretending he's (D)beside me.

All (Bm)alone I (E7)walk with him 'til (A)morning.

Without (F#7)him, I feel his arms (Bm)around me.

And (Em)when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has (A)found me.

In the (D)rain, the (Em)pavement shines like (D)silver.

All the (Bm)lights are (E7)misty in the (A)river.

In the (F#7)darkness, the trees are full of (Bm)starlight.

And (Em)all I see is him and me forever and (A)forever.

And I (Ebm)know it's only in my (Bb)mind that I'm (Gm)talking to myself and not to (Eb)him.

And (Em)although I know that he is (B7)blind,

still I (Am7)say there's a (C7)way for us.

I (F)love him, but (Gm)when the night is (F)over,

he is (G7)gone, the river's just a (C)river.

(Bb)Without him, the (A7)world around me (Dm)changes.

The (Gm)trees are bare and ev'rywhere the streets are full of (C7)strangers.

I (F)love him but (Gm)ev'ry day I'm (F)learning all my (Dm)life I've (G7)only been (C)pretending.

(A7)Without me, his world will go on (Dm)turning.

The (Gm)world is full of happiness that I have never (C)known.

I (F)love him,

I (F7)love him,

I (Dm)love him, but (Bbm)only on my (F)own.
