Bridge:

E (022100@1) Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace,
  F# (244322@1) I dream at night I can only see your face,
  E (022100@1) I look around but it's you I can't replace,
  F# (244322@1) I feel so cold and I long for your embrace,
  E (022100@1)                       G# (xx1114@1) I keep crying baby, baby please.
