      [Verse 1]

Emaj7
Yes, I do, I believe

 That one day I will be where I was

 Right there, right next to you
Esus4
 And it's hard, the days just seem so dark

 The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Emaj7
 Your touch, your skin,

 Where do I begin?

 No words can explain the way I'm missing you
Esus4
 Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside

 These tears, they tell their own story


[Pre-Chorus] 

F#m                  A                C#m7        B
 You told me not to cry when you were gone
            F#m          A                     Bsus4          B7sus4 
 But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong


[Chorus]

     E            Dbmin7         F#m   A  
 Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
      E                 C#min7
 And make sure you're alright?
                   F#m
 I'll take care of you,
        Bsus4                 B7sus4                 E                   E
 And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

(Strum each chord repeatedly on the beat)


[Verse 2]

      Emaj7
 I'm reaching out to you
                Esus4
 Can you hear my call?
     Emaj7
 This hurt that I've been through
                                 Esus4
 I'm missing you, missing you like crazy


[Pre-Chorus]

F#m                 A                   C#m7             B
 You told me not to cry when you were gone
       F#              A                     Bsus4          B7sus4 
 But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong


[Chorus]

    E            C#min7         F#m    A
 Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E                 C#min7
 And make sure you're alright?
                   F#m
 I'll take care of you
      Bsus4               B7sus4                   F#m
 And I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you tonight


[Instrumental]

  A        D       B7


[Bridge]

F#m       A      D       B7
 Lay me down tonight,
F#m     A        D       B7
lay me by your side
F#m       A     D       B7
 Lay me down tonight, 
F#m     A       D        B7
lay me by your side

(Strum each chord once)

   E             Dbm7           F#m   Bsus4       B7sus4             E
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
