HELPLESSLY HOPING Crosby, Stills & Nash VERSE 1: Am7 C G D Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby, awaiting a word Am7 C G D Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly Am7 C G D only to trip at the sound of goodbye VERSE 2: Am7 C G D Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside Am7 C G D Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodbye Am7 C G C/G or even hello? CHORUS: G C/G G C/G They are one person, They are two alone G C/G G Dm/F C G C/G G They are three together, they are for each other VERSE 3: Am7 C G D Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion has its cost Am7 C G D Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost Am7 C G C/G and choking on hello [CHORUS]
