  			Gm           F        A#                    Cm 
I act like I left her, but I really beg her to stay. 
And the more that I press her is the more she slips 
away. 
Act like I don't need her but...Yo, you're 
necessary... 
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I 
sleep. 

Gm               F      A#              Cm 
Act like I can hear, but Jah knows I'm deaf. 
Act like I can see but now, yo, from me sight has 
left. 
Act like I don't know but, I know these things... 
Act like I don't feel it but I'm gonna feel it, every 
morning now on 

Chorus (one measure or four reggae skanks per chord): 
Gm           A# 
Each morning, on each night 
Cm                 F 
when I need you by my side 
on each morning and on each night 
when I need you 

Like I don't care but each and every time 
your face comes across it never ever leaves my mind. 
Oh, like I don't know but...I know your thing 
like I don't feel it, but I'm gonna feel it every 
evening now on - 

Each morning, on each night 
when I need you by my side 
on each morning and on each night 
when I need you 

N.C. (maybe an A# to Cm if anything) 
I act like I left her, but the truth is I beg her, beg 
her to stay... 
Gm                  F                        A#                  Cm 
And the more that I press her, means all the more that she slips away. 
Act like I don't need her, but I'm here to tell you 
that you're necessary. 
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I'm 
on - 

Each morning, on each night 
when I need you by my side 
on each morning and on each night 
when I need you by my side. 

- On each morning and on each night when I need you so 
desperately.
