Emaj7
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Amaj7
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you
Emaj7
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
Amaj7
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
The night, this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story
F#m A C#m B
You told me not to cry when you were gone
F#m A B7 B
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong
E C#m F#m A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
E C#m
And make sure you're alright
F#m
I'll take care of you
A Esus4 E
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Emaj7
I'm reaching out to you
Amaj7
Can you hear my call?
Emaj7
This hurt that I've been through
Amaj7
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

And make sure you're alright

Lay me down tonight
