If Youre Not Here By My Side

C F Em Dm C G C G


[Verse 1]
 C                         G
Gotta catch that plane at 7:30
  F                        C
Why haven't you come to say goodbye
   C                             G
Time is running out and I'm still waiting
   F                          C
I'm so lost without you, I could die


[Bridge 1]
    Am                  Em
Yesterday you said you loved me
    Am                  Em
Everything seemed to be fine
    Am                      F
Today you're not here, I'm so lonely
   Dm                               F       G
It's the waiting that's driving me out of my mind


[Verse 2]
    C                                G
Don't know how I'll sing in that big city
    F                           C
How can I perform if you're not there
    C                            G
This will be the worst of all my journeys
   F                                  C
The image of your face will follow me everywhere


[Bridge 2]
   Am               Em
I need your tender kisses
   Am                    Em
The feel of your hands, your caress
   Am                 F
Your perfume has me burning
  Dm
My heart is yearning to touch you
 F             G
I need you so much


[Chorus]
             F              G
If you're not here, by my sides
    Em
Can't hold back the tears
    Am
I try to hide
               F       Em
Don't think I can take it
   F               Dm
I know I won't make it
        G7
Make it without you

                F        G
If you're not here, by my side
  Em                    Am
Only your love keeps me alive
    F          Em
No sense in dreaming
         F      Dm
My life has no meaning
            C
If you're not here
