Verse:
C              G               Am               F
   The sun has fallen, another day gone without you
C                 G        Am              F         G           
   My heart keeps calling      and I don't know just what to do
C              G       Am               F
   When you're near me     I seem to forget my lonely days
C                   G        Am                 F           G
   It's more than a feeling,     it's something there can't be explained

Chorus:
  C                        G
I wish that I was there  I wish that I was there
Am                     F          
When you're not here I wish that I was there (repeat 2x)

You were falling and now I'm coming round again
I was calling 'cause without you it's the end
I just want to see you a little more  I just want to dream of you some more
I just want to see you a little more  I just want to be with you some more
Repeat Chorus
And you make me feel 
Won't you take me when you're not here
It's been raining here
And I just want you to be near
C
I just want to see you a little more
Am
I just want to dream of you some more
C
I just want to see you a little more
Am
I just want to be with you some more
Repeat chorus to end
