[Verse 1]
N.C.
N.C.
Her harlequin hovers nearby
N.C.
Awaiting a word

Gasping at glimpses
D
Of gentle true spirit
A E
He runs, wishing he could fly
Bm A E
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
[Verse 2]
Bm
Wordlessly watching
D
He waits by the window
A E
And wonders at the empty place inside
Bm
Heartlessly helping
D
Himself to her bad dreams
A E
He worries did he hear a goodbye?

Or even hello?
[Chorus]

They are one person

They are two alone

They are three together

They are for each other

Bm
Stand by the stairway
A D
You'll see something certain
A E
To tell you confusion has its cost

Love isn't lying
D
It's loose in a lady
A E
Who lingers saying she is lost
Bm D A
And choking on hello
[Chorus]
A
They are one person
A
They are two alone
A
They are three together
G D
They are for each other
[Interlude]
