When [Ab]
[Gb] [Ab]
I [Db] need you I just close my eyes and [Ab] I'm with you
And all that [A] I so [Bbm] want to give you
It's [Eb] only a heartbeat [Ab] away
When [Db] I need love [Ebm] [Db] I hold out my hand I [Ab] touch love
I never knew [A] there was [Bbm] so much love
Keeping me warm night [Ab] and day
Miles [Bbm] and miles of empty space in [Ab] between us
[Bbm] A telephone can't take the place of [Ab] your smile
But [Db] you know I won't be [Bbm] traveling [Ebm] forever
It's colder, but colder [Db] and do like [Gb] I do
[Db] When I need you I just close my eyes and [Ab] I'm with you
And all that [A] I so [Bbm] want to give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat [Ab] away
[Bbm] It's not easy when the road is [Ab] your driver
[Bbm] Honey, that's a heavy load that [Ab] we bear
But [Db] you know I won't be traveling [Ebm] a lifetime
It's [Db] colder, [Ebm] so colder [Db] and do [Ebm] like I do
When [Db] I need you
