Standard (EADGBE)

Oh, well I just don't know

how you could go without permission.

'Cause where if you're not there,

well, I just don’t care for this omission.

Every moment brings me down when you're not around,

but all I'm asking for is come back for just one day.

So, where did you go?

do you now know... how to be happy?

‘Cause here, well it's pretty clear:

when you're not near me, I am unhappy.

Every moment brings me down when you're not around,

but all I'm asking for is come back for just one day.

And make it worth the while, just to see your smile.

That's all I'm asking for.

Oh, I've come to know

you had to go without permission.

'Cause it was how, how I wore you down

and how I dragged you round my sole ambition.

Every moment brings me down when you're not around,

but all I'm asking for is come back for just one day.

And make it worth the while, just to see your smile.

That's all I'm asking for, my dear.
