Lyrics
(Emaj7)Yes, I do, I be lieve.
That one day I will be where I was right there, right next to you.
And it’s hard, the days just seem so dark.
The moon, the stars are noth ing with out you.
Your (Emaj7)touch, your skin, where do I be gin?
No words can ex plain the way I’m miss ing you.
De ny this emp ti ness, this hole that I’m in side.
These tears, they tell their own sto ry.
You (F#m7)told me not to cry when you were (C#m7)gone.
But the (F#m7)feel ing’s o ver whelm ing, it’s much too
strong.
Can (E)I
lay by
your (C#m)side?
Next to (F#m7)you,
(A)you.
And (E)make
sure
you’re al
(C#m)right.
I’ll take care of (F#m7)you,
I (A)don’t want to be here if (A)I can’t be with you
to night.
I’m (Emaj7)reach ing out to you,
can you hear my (A)call?
(Who’s to say you won’t hear me?)
This (Emaj7)hurt that I’ve been through.
I’m miss ing you, miss ing you like cra zy, oh.
You (F#m7)told me not to (A)cry when you were (C#m7)gone.
But the (F#m7)feel ing’s o ver whelm ing, it’s much too (E)strong.
Can (E)I lay by your (C#m)side?
Next to (F#m7)you,
(A)you.
And (E)make sure you’re al (C#m)right.
I’ll take care of (F#m7)you.
I (A)don’t want to be here if (A)I can’t be with you to night.
(F#m)Lay me (F#m)down to (Dmaj7)night,
(F#m)lay me (F#m)by your (Dmaj7)side.
(F#m)Lay me (F#m)down to (Dmaj7)night,
(F#m)lay me (F#m)by your (Dmaj7)side.
(Dmaj7)side.
Can (E)I lay
by your
(C#m)side,
next to (F#m7)you,
(A)you.
