Introduction rythm – D-E(5x)

It hurts to be alone every day that you’ve been gone

I tell myself there’ll be someone else but that won’t do
Each night that passes by I long to hold you tight
I can’t let go oh don’t you know I’m missing you.

Sometimes I fool myself and make believe
That when you’re in his arms you’ll think of me

Though you’re not here with me I still want what used to be
I need you so oh don’t you know I’m missing you.

(During solo rythm strums same pattern as verses)

(Same as above)
Sometimes I fool myself and make believe
That when you’re in his arms you’ll think of me
Though you’re not here with me I still want what used to be
I need you so oh don’t you know I’m missing you.

I need you so oh don’t you know I’m missing you.
Missing you, missing you…
