Cosette:
D D＃m
How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last
D G＃
This change, can people really fall in love so fast?
C＃m7
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
F＃7 B
Have you been too much on your own?
EM7 BonF＃
So many things unclear
F＃ G
So many things unknown.
D
In my life
D
There are so many questions and answers
Bm
That somehow seem wrong
Dm
In my life
GonD A
There are times when I catch in the silence
A D
The sigh of a faraway song
D7
And it sings
G
Of a world that I long to see
E
Out of reach
A
Just a whisper away
A
Waiting for me!
B♭onC
Does he know I'm alive?
FonC
Do I know if he's real?
B♭onC
Does he see what I see?
D
Does he feel what I feel?
D
In my life
DonC＃ Bm
I'm no longer alone
DonA
Now that love in my life
E
Is so near
G A7 D F＃m
Find me now, find me here!
Valjean:
DonA
Dear Cosette,
C＃onE＃ F＃m
You're such a lonely child
D E A
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
D C＃onG＃ F＃m
Believe me, were it within my power
Em A
I'd fill each passing hour
GonA DonA A
How quiet it must be, I can see
GonA DonA A
With only me for company.
Cosette:
B♭m F
There's so little I know
B♭m
That I'm longing to know
D♭
Of the man that you were
B♭m
In a time long ago
B♭m FonA
T here's so little you say
B♭monD♭
Of the life you have known
D♭onA♭
Why you keep to yourself
D♭
Why we're always alone
E♭m
So dark, so dark and deep
F B♭
The secrets that you keep!
B♭
In my life
B♭
Please forgive what I say,
DmonA Gm
You are loving and gentle and good.
Cm
But Papa, dear Papa,
F
In your eyes I am still like the child
B♭
Who is lost in a wood
Valjean:
B♭onA♭
No more words
B♭onA♭ E♭
No more words, it's a time that is dead
C
There are words
C ConE F
That are better unheard, better unsaid.
Cosette:
D♭
In my life
D♭onC B♭m
I'm no longer a child and I yearn
D♭onA♭ Gm7-5
For the truth that you know
G♭ A♭ D♭
Of the years... years ago!
Valjean:
A♭monC♭
You will learn
E♭m
Truth is given by God
To us all
A♭7
In our time
D♭
In our turn
A♭monC♭／A♭monC♭／E♭m／E♭m／

[Valjean leaves the garden; Marius and Eponine are outside.]
Marius:
D
In my life
She has burst like the music of angels
Bm
The light of the sun
Em EmonD
And my life seems to stop
A
As if something is over
A7 D
And something has scarcely begun.
D7 G
Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here.
E A A7
Thanks to you I am at one with the Gods and Heaven is near!
B♭onC FonC
And I soar through a world that is new that is free...
Eponine [to herself]
B♭onC D
Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
D
In my life
DonC＃ Bm
There's been no-one like him anywhere.
DonA E
Anywhere, where he is...
G A D
If he asked... I'd be his.
Marius & Eponine:
AmonC
In my life
G
There is someone who touches my life
Marius:
A
Waiting near
Eponine:
Bm
Waiting here
