HELPLESSLY HOPING - CSN

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

Am7                     C                     
Wordlessly watching he  waits  by the window  
    G                               D
and wonders at the empty  place in-side

Am7                     C                       
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams 
   G                          D      
he worries did he hear a goodbye 
    Am7  C         G    C/G
or even...    hel-lo?

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

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

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