On my own by Claude-Michel Schönberg Les Miserables From the official Les Miserables notes. INTRO: VERSE 1: /C# On my own, pretending he's beside me. All alone, I walk with him till morning. Without him, I feel his arms around me. And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me! VERSE 2: /C# In the rain, the pavement shines like silver. All the lights are misty in the river. In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight. And all I see is him and me forever and forever. BRIDGE: Cbm5/ / And I know it's only in my mind, that I'm talking to myself and not to him. And, although I know that he is blind, still I say there's a way for us. VERSE 3: / /E I love him. But when the night is over. He is gone, the river's just a river. Without him, the world around me changes, / the trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers. VERSE 4: /E I love him, but every day I'm learning. All my life, I've only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning. A world that's full of happiness that I have never known. ENDING: I love him, / I love him, I love him, / but only on my own.
