Dm C#m                  F     Em 
       The longing is a pain 
Dm C#m                  C     Bm 
   A heavy pressure on my chest 
Dm C#m           F     Em 
       It rarely leaves 
Dm C#m                      C     Bm 
       And my day becomes a quest 
  
Dm C#m                       F     Em 
   To try not to think about her 
Dm C#m              C       Bm 
   And all that she brings 
Dm C#m              F         Em 
       Forget about her magic 
Dm C#m               C       Bm 
   All the beautiful things 

Chorus  
A#               C     Am             Dm 
Surely there are other things to life 
A#             C        Am         Dm 
   But I can't think of one single thing 
G#              A# 
   That matters more 

Dm      C#m         F     Em 
   Than just to see her 
Dm C#m         C     Bm 
   just to see her 
Dm   C#m           F        Em 
        Her smile, Her touch 
Dm C#m         C     Bm 
   Her smell  
Dm       C#m         F     Em 
Her laugh 
Dm C#m C Bm 


Dm  C#m                F     Em 
      The longing is a friend 
Dm C#m            C      Bm 
    A way to stay close 
Dm  C#m                  F     Em 
     And feel like she's here 
Dm C#m               C      Bm 
   And feel like she knows 
Dm       C#m                F             Em 
    That when I say I would die for her 
Dm          C#m                 C      Bm 
   It's not just words I really would 
Dm         C#m                    F             Em 
    And to make the world a safer place for her 
Dm              C#m          C     Bm 
    Well, I believe I really could 


Chorus 
A#               C     Am             Dm 
Surely there are other things to life 
A#             C        Am         Dm 
   But I can't think of one single thing 
G#              A# 
   That matters more 

Dm        C#m         F     Em 
   just to see her 
Dm C#m         C     Bm 
   to see her 
Dm   C#m           F            Em 
        Her tears, Her sorrow 
Dm C#m         C     Bm 
   Her faults  
Dm           C#m     F     Em 
Her doubts                   I love them  
Dm  C#m C Bm 
all
