 A   Gx2
[Verse 1]
AWhen you wake, what is it that you think of most?
GWhen your bed is empty, do you really sleep alonAe?
If I imagine you
GBody next to another
AAll around me new love, and it makes me sad
GAll around me feeling sure that you'll be back
AIf I imagine you
GBody next to another
[Pre-Chorus]
AStop crying to the ocean
GStop crying over me.
AStop worrying over nothing
GStop worrying over me.
[Chorus]
BmSo, it's been Gso long since you saiAd,
'Well, I know what I want
And what I want is right here with you'
 G   Ax3
[Verse 2]
AOn the drive back here, I was worrying over nothing
GOn the drive back there, tears spilling over something
AWhen I imagine you, Gbody next to another
AIn the door and you're there and you're sorry for the fright
GIn the door, can I hear you saying you don't want to fight?
AWhen I imagine you, Gbody next to another
[Pre-Chorus]
AStop crying to the ocean
GStop crying over me.
AStop worrying over nothing
GStop worrying over me.
[Chorus]
BmSo, it's been Gso long since you saiAd,

And what I want is right here with you'

And what I want is right here with you'
 G   Ax3

AIn a flash, back to you, just brought attention to the mess
GIn a flash, you're on top, begging me to understand
AIf I imagine you, Gbody next to another
AYou drop in for a minute and I'm sorry that I Gdidn't drop in sooner
Just to see you and see what you've been doing
AIf I imagine you, Gbody next to another
[Chorus]
BmSo, it's been Gso long since you saiAd,
'Well, I know what I want
And what I want is right here with you'

[Verse 1]

When you wake, what is it that you think of most?

G A

When your bed is empty, do you really sleep alone?

If I imagine you

Body next to another

All around me new love, and it makes me sad

All around me feeling sure that you'll be back

If I imagine you

Body next to another

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop crying to the ocean

Stop crying over me.

Stop worrying over nothing

Stop worrying over me.

On the drive back there, tears spilling over something
