i think this is one of de burghs best songs!!
                                Bbm  F7/A  
At separate tables we sit down to eat,
Db/                               Ab  Eb9/G  
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,
GbI only wish you knew hoDbw much,
                             Ebm   Faug- F  
You've been on my mind;
                                   Bbm  F7/C  
I think about you when the morning comes,
                                Db  Eb9/Bb  
I think about you when all____ my day is done,
GbWondering what you are doing now,Db  
EbmAre you lonely too?Faug  
FBecause I - DbI miss you here tonight,Eb9  
And I wish you were by my side,Gbmaj7  
                                      Db-  Ab-  Gb- Ab  
And I don't want to let go;
At separate tables we sit down to write,
The separate letters that never see the light,
If only we could just agree,
To read between the lines;
I want to see you and I know what I will say,
We must be crazy to throw it all away,
Never knowing what is lost,
Before it's all too late;
And I - I miss you here tonight,
And I wish you were by my side,
And I don't want to let go;
AbYes I Db- I miss you here tonight,Eb9  
And when I hold you by my side,Gbmaj7  
                                       Db- Ab/ C-  Bbm-  Db- Gm7dim5 -  Gb-  Ab- Bbm  
Well I'm not going to let go.
