Start Jamming...
[E] Yes, I do.
I believe that one day I'll be where I was right there right next [A] to you
And it's hard, the day just seems so dark, the moon, the stars, and [E] nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I'm missing [A] you
Tonight, this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside, these tears, they tell their own story
Told me not to cry when you [C#m] were gone
[B] But [A] the feeling's overwhelming, it's much [E] too [A] strong
[B] Can [E] I lie aside [C#m]
next [F#m] to you?
[A]
[E] And make sure I'll
[C#m] take care [F#m] of you
I [A] don't want to be here if I can't be with [E] you tonight
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear [A]
my call?
[E] This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you [A] like crazy
You [E]
[F#m] told me not to [A] cry when you [E] were gone
[B] But [F#m] the feeling's [A] overwhelming, it's much [E] too strong
[A]
[E] Can I lie
[C#m] aside next [F#m] to you?
[A]
[E] And make sure [B]
[C#m] I'll take [F#m] care of you
I
[A] don't want to be here if I can't be [F#m] with you tonight
[D] [F#m]
Baby, come tonight
Take me by your [D] side
[F#m]
Take me tonight
Take me by [A] your side
[E] Can I lie [C#m] aside
next
[F#m] to you?
[A] you?
