Helplessly Hoping

Verse 1:
Am7                    C                      G                     D
Helplessly hoping her  harlequin  hovers near-by,    awaiting   a   word.
Am7                    C                      G                     D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true  spirit he runs wishing he could fly
        Am7         C             G     C    D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...

Verse 2:
Am7                     C                         G
Wordlessly watching he  waits  by the window  and wonders at the empty
         D
place in-side
Am7                     C                         G
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear
      D      Am7  C         G    C 
a goodbye or even...    hel-lo?

Chorus:
         G   C                G     C              G        C 
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they
    G   Dm          C        G     C      G
are for...     each other

Verse 3:
Am7                         C                        G
Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion
        D
has its cost.
Am7                   C                   G                      D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost and
Am7      C         C 
choking...  on hel-lo.

Chorus:
         G   C                G     C              G        C 
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they
    G   Dm          C       G   C       G
are for...     each other
