Next To You - The Police The intro (and after each line in the verse) is series of quick double hits of the D, A E chords. I marked this as D-D-A-A-E-E. These sound fine as open chords. While the is sung, you can strum the top three strings of an E chord. For the chorus, play C#m, D E as barre chords. Right after the chorus, Andy Summers does a barre chord slide from to E three times - denoted as D/E. This part ain't easy! - stodman Intro: D-D-A-A-E-E I can't stand it for another day [D-D-A-A-E-E] When you live so many miles away [D-D-A-A-E-E] Nothing here is gonna make me stay [D-D-A-A-E-E] You took me over let me find a way [D-D-A-A-E-E] I sold my house I sold my motor, too [D-D-A-A-E-E] All I want is to be next to you [D-D-A-A-E-E] I'd rob a bank maybe steal a plane [D-D-A-A-E-E] You took me over think I'm goin' insane C#m D E What can I do all I want is to be next to you C#m D E D-D-A-A-E-E What can I do all I want is to be next to you I've had a thousand girls or maybe more [D-D-A-A-E-E] But I've never felt like this before [D-D-A-A-E-E] But I just don't know what's come over me [D-D-A-A-E-E] You took me over, take a look at me C#m D E What can I do all I want is to be next to you C#m D E What can I do all I want is to be next to you D All I want is to be next to you E All I want is to be next to you D All I want is to be next to you [solo] So many times I used to give a sign [D/E D/E D/E D-D-A-A-E-E] Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind [D/E D/E D/E D-D-A-A-E-E] When all it is is just a love affair [D/E D/E D/E D-D-A-A-E-E] You took me over baby, take me there [D/E D/E D/E] C#m D E What can I do all I want is to be next to you C#m D E What can I do all I want is to be next to you D (What can I do) All I want is to be next to you E (What can I do) All I want is to be next to you D (What can I do) All I want is to be next to you [fade out]
