D5                           G5
    Been running from this feeling for so long
A5                         D5
Telling my heart I didn't need it
                   G5
Pretending I was better off alone
       D5
But I know that it's just a lie
B5                         E5
      So afraid to take a chance again
       G5                     A5
So afraid of what I feel inside

A5                            D5   G5  E5    A5
   But I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
                         D5        G5    E5     A5
I need to share every breath of you, oh I, oh I
                      D5
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
       G5                                E5          G5
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
E5              B5           A5
Here with you, near with you, oh I
                      D5         G5
I need to be next to you

            A5 (pause)
Need to be next to you

D5                         G5
   Right here with you is right where I belong
A5                         D5
I lose my mind if I can't see you
                     G5
Without you there's nothing in this life
           D5
That would make life worth living for
B5                     E5
   I can't make it if you're not there
        G5                        A5
I can't fight what I feel any more

A5                        D5       G5    E5    A5
   Cause I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
                         D5         G5    E5   A5
I need to share every breath of you, oh I, oh I
                      D5
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
     G5                                  E5         G5
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
E5             B5                A5
Here with you, near with you, oh I
                     C5
I need to be next to you

 C5                                G5
I need to have your arms next to mine for all the time
E5                   A5
Holding for all my life
                       D5 G5 E5 A5
I need to be next to you
                       D5 G5   E5   A5
I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
                        D5
Need to be, need to be next to you
             G5                 E5
Share every breath of you
   A5                      D5                G5          E5   A5
i need to feel you in my arms baby, in my arms baby
                      D5     G5     E5 A5 D5 G5
i need to be next to you, oh i, oh i
