The story behind the song

Known for their energetic pop sound, the group became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

[Verse 1]

So your friends been telling me

G Am

You've been sleeping with my sweater

And that you can't stop missing me

C G

Bet my friends been telling you

I'm not doing much better

Because I'm missing half of me

And being here without you

It's like I'm waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking round with just one shoe

I'm a half a heart without you

I'm half the man, at best

With half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do

I'm a half a heart without you

[Verse]

C G

Forget all we said the night

No it doesn't even matter

Cause we both got split in two

C G

If you could spare an hour or so

We'll go for lunch down by the river

We could really talk it through

And being here without

It's like I'm waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking round with just one shoe

I'm a half a heart without you

I'm half the man, at best

With half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do

F C

I'm a half a heart without you

G Am

Half a heart without you

G C

I'm a half a heart without you

[Bridge]

Though I try to get you out of my head

Am F

And since then I've been waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

Kinda there but not quite

I'm walking round with just one shoe

I'm a half a heart without you

I'm half the man, at best

With half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do

I'm a half a heart without you

Without you, without you

Half a heart without you

Without you, without you

F C

I'm half a heart without you
