Lyrics

I (G)hope you’re do ing fine out there with out me

’cause, ba ’cause (Am)I’m not do ing so good with out you.

The (G)things I thought you’d nev er know a bout me

were the (Am)things I guess you al ways un der stood.

So (Am9)how could I have been so blind for all these years?

I (Am9)guess I on ly see the truth through all this fear of (C)liv ing with out you.

And (G)ev ’ry thing I have in this world and (C)all that I’ll ev er be,

it (G)could (C)all fall (G)down a (G)round (Em)me, just as (C)long as I have (G)you (Em)right (F)here by (D)me.

(G)I can’t take an oth er day with out you

’cause, ba by, (Am)I could nev er make it on my own.

The (G)I’ve been wait ing so long just to hold you

and to (Am)be back in your arms where I be long.

I’m (Am9)sor ry I can’t al ways find the words to say,

but (Am9)ev ’ry thing I’ve ev er known gets swept a way in (C)side ing of your love.

And (G)ev ’ry thing I have in this world and (C)all that I’ll ev er be,

it (G)could (C)all fall (G)down a (G)round (Em)me, just as (C)long as I have (G)you (Em)right (F)here by (D)me.

(Em)As the days roll on, I see (Em)time is stand ing still for me when you’re not here.

(Em)Sor ry I can’t al ways find the words to say,

but (Am9)ev ’ry thing I’ve ev er known gets swept a way in (Cmaj7)side of your love.

And (G)ev ’ry thing I have in this world and (C)all that I’ll ev er be,

it (G)could (C)all fall (G)down a (G)round (Em)me, just as (C)long as I have (G)you (Em)right (F)here by (D)me.

And (G)ev ’ry thing I have in this world and (C)all that I’ll ev er be,

it (G)could (C)all fall (G)down a (G)round (Em)me, just as (C)long as I have (G)you (Em)right (F)here by (D)me.

And (Em)right (F)here by (G)me.
