[verse 1] (one strum) 

Emaj7 
Yes I do, I believe

That one day I will be, where I was
                            Amaj7
Right there, right next to you

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?
                                           Amaj7
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you

The night, 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                     B         A/B
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong


[Chorus]

    E                C#m           F#m7   A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E                  C#m
And make sure you're alright
                  F#m7        A    A/B
I'll take care of you, 

      E  (one strum)            E  (one strum)
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight


[Verse 2]
 
        Emaj7
I'm reaching out to you
                 Amaj7
Can you hear my call?
      Emaj7
This hurt that I've been through
                                    Amaj7
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#m         A                     B         A/B
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong


[Chorus]

    E                C#m           F#m7   A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E                  C#m
And make sure you're alright
                  F#m7        A    A/B
I'll take care of you, 


[Bridge]

F#m   A   D   Bm7

F#m     A     D       Bm7
Lay me down tonight
F#m    A        D       Bm7
lay me by your side
F#m     A     D       Bm7
Lay me down tonight
F#m    A        A/B       B7
lay me by your side
  

[Chorus]

    E                C#m           F#m7   A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E
