WITHOUT HER     -       Harry Nilsson
Intro:
 Em7- A7/      E2x
           Em7  A7/                                              E  
   I spend the    night in a chair thinking 
Dm7/                       A                                     G  
    she'll be there But she   never comes
                           Em7  A7/                               E  
And I    wake up and wipe the      sleep from my eyes
      Dm7/                      A                                 G  
And I      rise to face another    day
                         Em7  A7/           E  Dm7/          A                G  
Wit-    hout her do do do do    do do do do    do do do do 
            Em7  A7/                     E  Dm7/                          A  
   It's just no    good anymore when you     walk through the door
Of an   Gempty room and then 
                       Em7  A7/                      E  Dm7/              A  
You    go inside and set a    table for one, it's no     fun
When you spend a   Gday  
                         Em7  A7/          E  Dm7/           A                G  
Wit-    hout her do do do do    do do do do    do do do do 
          Dmaj7  Gadd9/                    D                               Dm  
    We burst the    pretty balloon took us    to the moon
It's such a   G7beautiful thing
But it's   Em7ended now
       A7/                                                 E  
And it    sounds like a lie
     Dm7/                  A                                      G7  
If I     say I'd rather die    than live 
                          C  A7/           E  Dm7/           A              G  
Wit-   hout her do do do do    do do do do    do do do do 
          Em7  A7/                      E  Dm7/                          A  
    Love is a    beautiful thing when it    knows how to swing
And it   Gmoves like a clock
                                   Em7  A7/                       E  
But the    hands on the clock tell the    lovers to part
         Dm7/                                               A  
And it's     breaking my heart
To have to   Gspend another day 
              Em7  A7/ E- Dm7/ A-                                            G
