Intro: C F C F 

G     F 
Alone, such a simple word 
G                F 
The sick on easy in this world 
C                     F 
For I have longed but never stirred 
C                  F 
And given up what I could deserve 

Am             F      C 
Just to be beside you 
G    Am             F       C 
     Just to be beside you 


G                F 
This could almost be love 
G                F 
This could almost be in love 
C                         F 
Let's not read all the signs 
                  C                   F 
'Cause there's a lot to be said for living a lie 

Am           F         C 
Just to be beside you 
G      Am            F         Am 
      Just to be beside you 

F   C   F  C
