As I (Eb)lay by your (Bb)side

I (Gm7)real ize how luck y I am.

And should (Abmaj7)you ev er won der if my love is true,

there’s (Fm7)some thing that I want to make clear to you.

(Eb)There’s (Bb)no (Cm)way I could make it with out you.

There’s (Bb)no (Cm)way

that I’d e ven try.

If (Bdim7)I (Cm)had to sur vive with out you in my life,

I (Ab)know I would n’t (Eb)last a day,

oh, (Ab)babe,

(Fm7)there’s no way.

It means (Eb)so much of (Bb)me,

when (Ab)ev er (Eb)I see

that (Gm7)“want ing me” look in your eyes.

And (Eb)I don’t know (Bb)how

I could (Ab)do and with (Eb)out

And I’ve (Abmaj7)wait ed so long just to have you to hold,

(Eb)There’s (Bb)no (Cm)way I could make it with out you.

There’s (Bb)no (Cm)way that I’d e ven try.

If (Bdim7)I (Cm)had to sur vive with out you in my life,

I (Ab)know I would n’t (Eb)last a day,

oh, (Ab)babe,
