              Bm                 E               A 
Even if you were a million miles away 
               D 
I could still feel you in my bed 
D                           Bm 
Near me, touch me, feel me 
    E                                    A 
And even in the bottom of the sea 
               D 
I can still hear inside my head 
D                                Bm 
Telling me, touch me, feel me 
    E                                              A      D 
And all the time you were telling me lies 
 
        Bm                 E               A        D 
So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
Bm                     E                      A          D        Bm 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
          E                          A        D 
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had 
Bm                 E                           A          D 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
 
D                      E                           A 
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart 
            D 
Well you can try sleeping in my bed 
D                                            Bm 
Lonely, only, nobody ever shut it down like you 
     E                                        A                  D 
You wore the crown, you make my body feel heaven-bound 
D                                                                                 Bm 
Why don't you hold me, need me, I thought you told me You'd never leave me 
 
                  E                  A 
Looking in the sky I can see your face 
         D 
And i knew right where I'd fit in 
D                                                   Bm         E 
Take me, make me... You know that I'll always be in love with you 
A              D 
Right til the end 
 
        Bm                 E               A        D 
So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
Bm                     E                      A          D        Bm 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
          E                          A        D 
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had 
Bm                 E                           A          D 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
 
Bm 
Anybody could have told you right from the start It's bout fall apart 
                                     E 
So rather than hold onto a broken dream 
                A          Bm 
Or just hold onto love 
       E                     A 
And I could find a way to make it 
    D              Bm 
Don't hold on too tight 
     E              A          D 
I'll make it without you tonight 
 
 
        Bm                 E               A        D 
So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
Bm                     E                      A          D        Bm 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
          E                          A        D 
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had 
Bm                 E                           A          D 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without yould find a way to make it 
    D              Bm 
Don't hold on too tight 
     E              A          D 
I'll make it without you tonight 
 
 
        Bm                 E               A        D 
So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
Bm                     E                      A          D        Bm 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you 
          E                          A        D 
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had 
Bm                 E                           A          D 
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
