Intro 
Am Em G Dm 
Am Em G Dm 
 
Verse 
Am           Em               G        Dm 
It's not the words I want to tell you 
Am           Em             G      Dm 
It's not the tension that I feel 
Am           Em             G          Dm 
It's not the face that I'm showing you today 
Am               Em       G             Dm 
That betrays the way, the way I want to feel 
       Am 
What I need 
       Am 
What I need 
       Em                G 
What I need right now is right here 
         Dm 
Right in front of me 
       Am 
What I need 
       Am 
What I need 
       Em                G 
What I need right now is right here 
         Dm 
Right in front of me 
 
 
  F                G 
A million times, a million thoughts 
  Am                C 
I really don't know what I want 
           F                   G 
But then I see you, now I'm almost lost 
         Am           C 
And everything that I know went wrong 
          F                        G 
And if it means that it's done and I'm a fool 
      Am                        C 
But I don't want to forget what we've been through 
        F                 G 
Just to save us both from what we knew 
Am              G 
Losing our way, sometimes, it's cruel 
 
     Am 
No distraction 
     Em 
No distraction 
G            Dm 
Can I, can I be with you? 
     Am 
No distraction 
     Em 
No distraction 
G            Dm 
Can I, can I be with you? 
 
Am 
Pull you to the left 
Em 
Pull you the right 
G                 Dm 
Pull you in all directions 
Am 
Pull you to the left 
Em 
Pull you the right 
G                  Dm 
Pull you in all directions 
 
Verse 
Am           Em               G        Dm 
It?s not the objects that I hold in my possession 
Am           Em                  G        Dm 
It's not the worldly things that shine 
Am           Em                   G                    Dm 
Sometimes the worst will come and bring us back together 
Am            Em                        G             Dm 
Well, hold me up and get me through the night 
 
       Am 
What I need 
       Am 
What I need 
       Em                G 
What I need right now is right here 
         Dm 
Right in front of me 
       Am 
What I need 
       Am 
What I need 
       Em                G 
What I need right now is you you 
      Dm 
Only you and me 
 
 
  F                G 
A million times, a million thoughts 
  Am                C

      Am                        C

        F                 G

F 
I?m losing time 
Em 
I?m losing time 
Am              G 
There's so many ways 
 
To live or love or die 
F 
I?m losing time 
Em 
I?m losing time 
Am             C 
I've wanted to know 
 
Are you still on the line? 
F       Em             Dm 
Wasting time trying to prove things 
           Am 
Instead of proving my love 
F          Em             D   Dm 
I?m losing, I?m losing my mind 
 
 
  F                G

But then I see you, now I'm almost lost 
         Am           C
