posted, but this is how I've been playing it.
Next to Me by Civil Twilight
(standard tuning)
D and Dsus are interchangeable; use whatever you're more comfortable with.
           Em         C  G-Dsus  
You are my only escape
             Em               C  G-Dsus  
You are the reason that I wait
                 Em               C  G-Dsus  
On the corner of this empty street
         Em                 C  G-Dsus  
Oh I just can't wait to meet
             Em             C  G-Dsus  
There's so much a man can do
                  Em             C  G-Dsus  
And there's so much a man can say
              Em                    C  G-Dsus
