                D
When you're not near me

Gmaj7                          D     Gmaj7
The time don't seem to move as easy

                D
When you're not near me

Gmaj7                            D      Gmaj7
The sun don't seem to feel the same

Fm             
The days don't shine as brightly

        G        
And the nights don't taste as sweet

         Fm                               Em  A
And this soul of mine feels lost and incomplete
 
                D         Gmaj7
When you're not near me

                D         Gmaj7
When you're not near me


When you're not near me
I make the sound of one hand clapping
When you're not near me
I leave no footprints in the sand
And I can find no solace
In the lonely silver sea
I'm only half as strong and half as free
When you're not near me
When you're not near me


Bridge: 
        200232
G        D/F#
Don't be long my love
   332000
    Cmaj7            D
Oh, don't be long my love

   G        D/F#
It won't be long until 

  C                    A
I hold you in my arms again


Verse chords through instrumental break
Repeat Bridge


When you're not near me
There is no laughter in my spirit
When you're not near me
There is no spirit in my laugh
You are like a magnet to that iron part of me
And this longing never seems to let me be
When you're not near me
When you're not near me
