Helplessly Hoping

Stephen Stills

 AmAm/BCG
 helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
 D
awaiting a word
 AmAm/BC
 gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
 GD
he runs, wishing he could fly
 AmCGD
only to trip at the sound of goodbye

 AmAm/BC
 wordlessly watching he waits by the window
 GD
and wonders at the empty place inside
 AmAm/BC
 heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
 GD
he worries did he hear a goodbye
 AmCGD
or even hello---ooo

 DG
 they are one person
 G
 they two alone
 G
 they are three together
 GFCG
 they are four each other  

 AmAm/BC
 stand by the stairway you'll see something certain
 GD
to tell you confusion has its cost
 AmAm/BC
 love isn't lying it's loose in a lady
 GD
who lingers saying she is lost
 AmCGD
and choking on hello---oooo

 DG
 they are one person
 G
 they two alone
 G
 they are three together
 GFCG
 they are four each other
