[Am] [G]
[Am]A hundred days have made me older,
[G]Since the last time that I saw your pretty [Am]face, [F] [G]


[Am]A thousand lies have made me colder,
[G]And I don’t think I can look at this the[Am] [F]same, [G]
[Am]And all the miles that separate,
[G]They disappear now when [F]I’m dreaming of [G]your face.


[C]I’m here without you [G]baby, but you’re still on my [Am]lonely mind,
I think about [F]you baby and I [G]dream about you all the time,
[C]I’m here [G]without you baby, but you’re still with me in my [Am]dreams,
[F]And tonight, [G]it’s only you and me,


[Am]The miles just keep roll[G]ing as
The people leave their [Am]way [F]to [G]say hello,
[Am]I’ve heard this life is [G]overrated, but I
Hope it [Am]gets [F]better [G]as we go, woah, yeah


[C]I’m here without you [G]baby, but you’re still on my [Am]lonely mind,
I think about [F]you baby and I [G]dream about you all the time,
[C]I’m here [G]without you baby, but you’re still with me in my [Am]dreams,
[F]And tonight, [G]it’s only you and me,


[Am]Everything I know, [C]and everywhere I go,
[G]It gets hard but it [F]won’t take away my love,
[Am]And when the last one [C]falls,
When it’s all said and [G]done, it gets [F]hard
But won’t take[C], [G]away, [Am] [F]my [G]love, oh, oh, yeah.


[C]I’m here without you [G]baby, but you’re still on my [Am]lonely mind,
I think about [F]you baby and I [G]dream about you all the time,
[C]I’m here [G]without you baby, but you’re still with me in my [Am]dreams,


[F]And tonight, [G]it’s only you and me,,
[F]But [G]tonight, it’s only [C]you
