Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Helplessly hoping,
her [C]harlequin hovers near[G]by
Awaiting a [D]word
[Am]Gasping at glimpses
of [C]gentle true spirit, he [G]runs
Wishing he could [D]fly
Only to [Am]trip at the [C]sound of good[G]bye[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Wordlessly watching,
he [C]waits by the window and [G]wonders
At the empty place in[D]side
[Am]Heartlessly helping him[C]self
to her bad dreams he [G]worries
Did he hear a good- [D]bye?
Or [Am]even [C]hello?[G][C]

[Bridge 1]
They are [G]one [C]person
They are [G]two a[C]lone
They are [G]three to[C]gether
They are [G]for [Dm]each othe[C]r
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Stand by the stairway,
you'll [C]see something certain to [G]tell you
Confusion has its [D]cost
[Am]Love isn't lying
it's [C]loose in a lady who [G]lingers
Saying she is [D]lost
And [Am]choking [C]on hello[G][C]

[Bridge 2]
They are [G]one [C]person
They are [G]two a[C]lone
They are [G]three to[C]gether
They are [G]for [Dm]each othe[C]r
[G][C][G]
