Lyrics and Music by Samuel Smith, James Napier and Elvin Smith
feat. John Legend

E
Yes I do, I believe
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,
The moon, and the stars
Are nothing without you.
     E
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain
                      A
The way I’m missing you.
Tonight this emptiness,
This hole that I’m inside,
These tears, they tell their own story.

 F#m              A            C#m
   Told me not to cry when you were gone,
 B         F#m           A
   But the feeling’s overwhelming,
               E    B7
   It’s much too strong.

Chorus:
         E              C#m
     Can I lay by your side,
             F#m7 A
     Next to you, you?
         E                   C#m
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       F#m7
     I’ll take care of you,
           A
     And I don’t want to be here
        B7                E
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

    E
I’m reaching out to you,
              A
Can you hear my call? Ooh.
     E
This hurt that I’ve been through,
I’m missing you,
                    A            B7
I’m missing you like crazy, uuh.

Chorus:
         E        G#m    C#m
     Can I lay by your side,
             F#m7    A
     Next to you, to you?
         E                G#m    C#m
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       F#m7
     I’ll take care of you,
           A
     And I don’t want to be here
        B7                 F#m
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

Instrumental: F#m | F#m | D | B7

F#m           D      B7
Lay me down tonight,
F#m            D     B7
Lay me by your side.
F#m           D      B7
Lay me down tonight,
F#m    F#m7    B7
Lay me by your side.
    E              C#m
Can I lay by your side,
        F#m7 A     B7     E
Next to you, you?
