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

Gmaj
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was,
                             Cadd9
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.
     Gmaj
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain
                      Cadd9
The way I’m missing you.
Tonight this emptiness,
This hole that I’m inside,
These tears, they tell their own story.

 Am               C            Em
   Told me not to cry when you were gone,
 D         Am            C
   But the feeling’s overwhelming,
               G/D  D9sus4
   It’s much too strong.

Chorus:
         G              Em
     Can I lay by your side,
             Am7  C    Csus2 C
     Next to you, you?
         G                   Em
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Am7
     I’ll take care of you,
           C
     And I don’t want to be here
        D9sus4            G
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

    Gmaj
I’m reaching out to you,
              Cadd9
Can you hear my call? Ooh.
     Gmaj
This hurt that I’ve been through,
I’m missing you,
                    Cadd9        D9sus4
I’m missing you like crazy, uuh.

Chorus:
         G        Bm/F#  Em
     Can I lay by your side,
             Am7     C
     Next to you, to you?
         G                Bm/F#  Em
     And make sure you’re alright.
                       Am7
     I’ll take care of you,
           C
     And I don’t want to be here
        D9sus4             Am
     If I can’t be with you tonight.

Instrumental: Am | Am/C | Fmaj | D7sus2

Am     Am/C   Fmaj   D7sus2
Lay me down tonight,
Am     Am/C    Fmaj  D7sus2
Lay me by your side.
Am     Am/C   Fmaj   D7sus2
Lay me down tonight,
Am     Am7/C   D9sus4
Lay me by your side.
    G              Em
Can I lay by your side,
        Am7  Cadd9 D9sus4 G
Next to you, you?
