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

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

 Dm               F            Am
   Told me not to cry when you were gone,
 G         Dm            F
   But the feeling’s overwhelming,
               C    G7
   It’s much too strong.

Chorus:
         C              Am
     Can I lay by your side,
             Dm7  F
     Next to you, you?
         C                   Am
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Dm7
     I’ll take care of you,
           F
     And I don’t want to be here
        G7                C
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

    C
I’m reaching out to you,
              F
Can you hear my call? Ooh.
     C
This hurt that I’ve been through,
I’m missing you,
                    F            G7
I’m missing you like crazy, uuh.

Chorus:
         C        Em     Am
     Can I lay by your side,
             Dm7     F
     Next to you, to you?
         C                Em     Am
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Dm7
     I’ll take care of you,
           F
     And I don’t want to be here
        G7                 Dm
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

Next to you, you?
