[Intro]
[Verse]
E 
Yes I do, I believe 
E 
That one day I will be, where I was 
                            Aadd9 
Right there, right next to you 
 Aadd9 
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark 
 Aadd9 
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you 
       E 
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin? 
                                           Aadd9 
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you 
Aadd9 
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside 
Aadd9 
These tears, they tell their own story
[Chorus]
    F#m             A                C#m         B 
You told me not to cry when you were gone 
          F#m         A                      E     A/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                       A/B                   E 
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
[Verse]
        E 
I'm reaching out to you 
                 A 
Can you hear my call? 
      E 
This hurt that I've been through 
                                    A 
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
[Chorus]
    F#m             A                C#m         B 
You told me not to cry when you were gone 
          F#m         A                      E/B    A/B 
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong 
    E        B/D# 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                       A/B                   F#m 
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

F#m     A     D       B7sus2

F#m    A        D     B7sus2 
lay me by your side 
F#m     A     D       B7sus2 
Lay me down tonight 
F#m    A        D     B7sus2 
lay me by your side 
    E             C#m          F#m    A    A/B    E 
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
