On My Own
Claude-Michel Schönberg
D Em/D D D/C#
On my own, pretending he's beside me
Bm E7 A A/G#
All alone, I walk with him till morning
G F#7 Bm
Without him, I feel his arms around me
Em Em/D A
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me
D Em/D D D/C#
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
Bm E7 A A/G#
All the lights are misty in the river
G F#7 Bm
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
Em Em/D A
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
Bb Cm7/Bb Bb Bb/A
And I know it's only in my mind
Gm Bb/F Eb
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
Em B B7
And although I know that he is blind
Am7 C7
Still I say there's a way for us
F Gm/F F F/E
I love him, but when the night is over
Dm G7 C C/B
He is gone, the river's just a river
Bb A Dm
Without him the world around me changes
Gm Gm/F C
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
F Bb/F F F/E
I love him, but every day I'm learning
Dm G7 C C/B
All my life I've only been pretending
Bb A7 Dm
Without me his world will go on turning
Gm C
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known
F F7/Eb Dm
I love him, I love him, I love him
Bbm/Db F
But only on my own
