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