[Verse]
 
Dmaj7
Yes I do, I believe
 
That one day I will be, where I was
                            Gmaj7
Right there, right next to you
 
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
 
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you
 
      Dmaj7
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
                                           Gmaj7
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
 
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
 
These tears, they tell their own story
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Em             G           Bm     A
You told me not to cry when you were gone
         Em           G                  Bm    A
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong
    D              Bm           Em   G   A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     D                  Bm
And make sure you're alright
                   Em
I'll take care of you 
       G                       A                      D
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
 
 
[Verse]
 
     Dmaj7
I'm reaching out to you
                 Gmaj7
Can you hear my call?
      Dmaj7
This hurt that I've been through
                                 Gmaj7
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    D              Bm           Em   G   A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     D                  Bm
And make sure you're alright
                   Em
I'll take care of you 
       G                       A                         Em  G  C  Am7
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em    G      C    Am7
Lay me down tonight
 Em    G       C   Am7
lay me by your side
 Em    G      C    Am7
Lay me down tonight
 Em    G       C   Am7
lay me by your side
 
 
[Outro]
 
     D             Bm           Em   G   D
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
