               Aadd9

Every claim you stake,
                     F#madd9
I'll be watching you.
 
 
[Bridge]
F
 Since you've been gone, I've been lost without a trace,
G
 I dream at night, I can only see your face,
F
 I look around but it's you I can't replace,
G                                        F
 I feel so cold and I long for your embrace,
                          (Aadd9)
I keep crying baby, baby please.
