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

Dmaj
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was,
                             Gadd9
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.
     Dmaj
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain
                      Gadd9
The way I’m missing you.
Tonight this emptiness,
This hole that I’m inside,
These tears, they tell their own story.

 Em               G            Bm
   Told me not to cry when you were gone,
 A         Em            G
   But the feeling’s overwhelming,
               D/A  A9sus4
   It’s much too strong.

Chorus:
         D              Bm
     Can I lay by your side,
             Em7  G    Gsus2 G
     Next to you, you?
         D                   Bm
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Em7
     I’ll take care of you,
           G
     And I don’t want to be here
        A9sus4            D
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

    Dmaj
I’m reaching out to you,
              Gadd9
Can you hear my call? Ooh.
     Dmaj
This hurt that I’ve been through,
I’m missing you,
                    Gadd9        A9sus4
I’m missing you like crazy, uuh.

Chorus:
         D        F#m/C# Bm
     Can I lay by your side,
             Em7     G
     Next to you, to you?
         D                F#m/C# Bm
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Em7
     I’ll take care of you,
           G
     And I don’t want to be here
        A9sus4             Em
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

Em     Em/G   Cmaj   A7sus2
Lay me down tonight,
Em     Em/G    Cmaj  A7sus2
Lay me by your side.
Em     Em/G   Cmaj   A7sus2
Lay me down tonight,
Em     Em7/G   A9sus4
Lay me by your side.
    D              Bm
Can I lay by your side,
        Em7  Gadd9 A9sus4 D
Next to you, you?
