D                           G
    Been running from this feeling for so long 
A                         D
Telling my heart I didn't need it 
                   G
Pretending I was better off alone 
       D
But I know that it's just a lie 
Bm                         Em
      So afraid to take a chance again 
       G                     A    
So afraid of what I feel inside 
 

A                            D   G  Em    A
   But I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I 
                         D        G    Em     A
I need to share every breath of you, oh I, oh I 
                      D
I need to know I can see you smile each morning 
       G                                Em          G
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life 
Em              Bm           A
Here with you, near with you, oh I 
                      D         G
I need to be next to you 


             A (pause)
Need to be next to you 


D                         G 
   Right here with you is right where I belong 
A                         D
I lose my mind if I can't see you 
                     G
Without you there's nothing in this life 
           D
That would make life worth living for 
Bm                     Em
   I can't make it if you're not there 
        G                        A
I can't fight what I feel any more 


A                        D       G    Em    A
   Cause I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I 

                         D         G    Em   A
I need to share every breath of you, oh I, oh I 
                      D
I need to know I can see you smile each morning 
     G                                  Em         G
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life 
Em             Bm                A
Here with you, near with you, oh I 
                     C
I need to be next to you
               

 C                                G
I need to have your arms next to mine for all the time 
Em                   A
Holding for all my life 
                       D G Em A
I need to be next to you 
                       D G   Em   A
I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I 
                        D
Need to be, need to be next to you 
             G                 Em
Share every breath of you 
   A                      D                G          Em   A
i need to feel you in my arms baby, in my arms baby
                      D     G     Em A D G (fading)
i need to be next to you, oh i, oh i
