[Verse 1]
 Emaj7
 Yes I do, I believe
                     Emaj7
 That one day I will be, where I was
                               Amaj7
 Right there, right next to you
 And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
     Amaj7
 The moon, the stars, are nothing without you
      Emaj7
 Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
    Emaj7                                     Amaj7
 No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
                                              Amaj7
 Deny this emptiness this hole that I'm inside
 These tears they tell their own story
     F#m7           Amaj7            E    B7
 You told me not to cry when you were gone
         F#m7         Amaj7                  B      A/B
 But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong
[Chorus]
     E             Amaj7         F#m7 A/B
 Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
      E                 Amaj7
 And make sure you're alright
                   F#m7
 I'll take care of you
       A/B                     B7sus4/F#               E
 And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
[Verse 2]
       Emaj7
 I'm reaching out to you
              Amaj7
 Can you hear my call?
      Emaj7
 This hurt that I've been through
                                   Amaj7  A/B
 I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
[Chorus]
     E             Amaj7         F#m7 A/B
 Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
      E                 Amaj7
 And make sure you're alright
                   F#m7
 I'll take care of you

 Lay me down tonight
