INTRO:
Am7 C G D
[Verse 1]
Am
Helplessly hoping,
C G
Her harlequin hovers nearby.
G D Am
Awaiting a word, gasping at glimpses
C G
of gentle true spirit, he runs,
G D
wishing he could fly,
Am7 C G D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye.
[Verse 2]
Am
Wordlessly watching,
C G
he waits by the window and wonders,
D
at the empty place inside.
Am C
Heartlessly helping himself to her
G
bad dreams, he worries..
D Am7 C G
Did he hear a good-bye, or even hel..lo?
[Chorus]
Am/G
They are one person, they are two alone.
Dm/F C
They are three together, they are four for each other.
[Verse 3]
Am C
Stand by the stairway, you'll see something
G D
certain to tell you, confusion has its cost.
Am C G
Love isn't lying..it's loose in a lady who lingers
D Am7 C G
saying.. she is lost and choking on hel..lo.
[Chorus]
Am/G
They are one person, they are two alone.
Dm/F C G
They are three together, they are four for each other.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
