Helplessly Hoping

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/G D only to trip at the sound of good-bye…

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/G a goodbye or even… hel-lo?

[Chorus] G C/G G C/G G C/G They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they G Dm/F C G C/G G are for… each other

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/G choking… on hel-lo.

[Chorus]
