Key: G Major BPM: ♩ = 70 Time: 4/4
|C    Em    |C    Em    |C    Em    |Dsus4    D    |

 |G             D/F#      |Em                  |C                        |D   |
I always needed time on my own, I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
       |G              D/F#           |Em                         |C                    |D   |
And the days feel like years when I'm alone, and the bed where you lie is made up on you side

    |Am                        |Bm                        |C                            |D   |
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now?

           |C         Em          |D                    |
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
           |C         Em            |D                  |
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
           |Am                C              |G             D          |
When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the
|C                |D        |
 day, and make it OK, I miss

|C    Em    |C    Em    |C    Em    |Dsus4    D    |
 you

    |G               D/F#   |Em                     |C               |D   |
I've never felt this way   before, everything that I do reminds me of you
       |G                    D/F#        |Em   |
And the clothes you left are lying on the floor
                        |C                              |D   |
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

    |Am                        |Bm                        |C                            |D   |
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now?

           |C         Em          |D                    |
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
           |C         Em            |D                  |
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
           |Am                C              |G             D          |
When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the
|C                |D        |
 day, and make it OK, I miss

|Bm                        |C                 |G              |D     B/D#   |
 you, we were made for each other, out here forever, I know we were, yeah
   |Em                                |C                                       |
All I ever wanted was for you to know, everything I do I give my heart and soul
|A/C#                                             |D       |
 I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

           |C         Em          |D                    |
When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
           |C         Em            |D                  |
When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too
           |Am                C              |G             D          |
When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the
|C                |D        |
 day, and make it OK, I miss

|C    Em    |C    Em    |C    Em    |Dsus4    D    |
