Helplessly Hoping

[Intro] Am7  C  G  D

Am7            G/B
Helplessly hoping
    C                    G
Her harlequin hovers nearby
           D
Awaiting a word

Am7              G/B
Gasping at glimpses
    C
Of gentle true spirit
    G                     D
He runs, wishing he could fly
         Am7    G/B  C             G      D
Only to trip at the sound of good-byyyyyyye

Am7               G/B
Wordlessly watching
    C                       G
He waits by the window and wonders
                      D
At the empty place inside
Am7              G/B    C
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
   G                          D
He worries Did he hear a good-bye?
Am7    G/B C       G   C4/G
Or even        hellooooo?

          G    C4/G
They are one person
          G    C4/G
They are two alone
          G       C4/G
They are three together
         G    F7M   C    G (C/G G
They are for  each other

Am7               G/B
Stand by the stairway
        C
You'll see something
            G                          D
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Am7            G/B
Love isn't lying
      C                    G
It's loose in a lady who lingers
               D
Saying she is lost
     Am7   G/B  C        G  C4/G
And choking        on hello

          G    C4/G
They are one person
          G    C4/G
They are two alone
          G       C4/G
They are three together
         G    F7M   C    G C/G G
They are for  each other
