Lyrics

Miss in’ you,

miss in’ you.

Miss in’ you,

miss in’ you.

(Ebsus2)Ev ’ry time I think of you,

I (Absus2)al ways catch my breath.

And I’m still (Ebsus2)stand ing here and you’re miles a way and I’m (Absus2)won d’rin’ why you left.

There’s a (Cm)storm that’s rag in’

through my fro zen heart to night.

I hear your (Ebsus2)name

in cer tain cir cles

and it (Absus2)al ways makes me smile.

I spend my (Ebsus2)time

think in’ a bout you

and it’s (Absus2)al most driv ing me wild.

There’s a (Cm)heart that’s break in’

down this (Ab)long dis tance line to night.

I ain’t miss in’ you

since you’ve been (Absus2)gone

a way.

I ain’t miss in’ you

no mat ter

a what I might (Bb5)say.

There’s a (Ebsus2)mes sage

in the wi re

and I’m (Absus2)send in’ you this sig nal to night.

You don’t know

how des p’rate I’ve be come

and it looks like I’m los in’ this (Bb5)fight.

In your (Ebsus2)world

I have no mean ing.

I try so (Absus2)hard to un der stand.

And it’s my (Cm)heart that’s break in’

down this (Ab)long dis tance line to night.

I ain’t miss in’ you

since you’ve been (Absus2)gone

a way.

I ain’t miss in’ you

no mat ter

a what my friends (Bb5)say.

There’s a (Cm)mes sage that I’m send in’ out

like a (Ab)tel e graph to your soul.

And if (F9)I can’t bridge this dis tance,

stop this heart break

o ver (Bb)load.

I ain’t miss in’ you

since you’ve been (Absus2)gone

a way.

I ain’t miss in’ you

no mat ter

what my friends (Bb)say.

I ain’t miss in’ you.

I ain’t miss in’ you.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
