On my

side me
D/C#
All a
Bm
lone I
E7
walk with him till
A
morning
A/G#
With
G
out him I
F#7
feel his arms a
Bm
round
me
And
Em
when I lose my way I close my
Em/D
eyes
And he has
A
found
me
In the
D
rain the
Em/D
pavement shines like
D
silver
D/C#
All the
Bm
lights are
E7
misty in the
A
river
A/G#
In the
G
darkness the
F#7
trees are full of
Bm
starlight
And
Em
all I see is him and me for
Em/D
ever and for
A
ever
And I
Bb
know it’s
Ebm/Bb
only in my

mind
Bb/A
That I’m
Gm
talking to my
Gm/F
self and not to

him
And al
Em
though I know that he is
B
blind
B7
Still I
Am7
say there’s a
C7
way for us
I
F
love
him
But
Gm/F
when the night is
F
over
F/E
He is
Dm
gone, the
G7
river’s just a
C
river
C/B
With
Bb
out him the
A
world around me
Dm
changes
The
Gm
trees are bare and everywhere
The
Gm/F
streets are full of
C
strangers
I
F
love
him
But
Gm/F
every day I’m
F
learning
F/E
All my
Dm
life I’ve
G7
only been pre
C
tending
C/B
With
Bb
out me, his
A
world will go on
Dm
turning
A
Gm
world that’s full of happiness
That I have never
C
known
I
Fadd2
love
him
I
F7/Eb
love
him
I
Dm7
love
him
But
Bbm/Db
only on my
F
own
