Standard (EADGBE)

Lying in my bed again,

And I cry cause you're not here.

Crying in my head again,

And I know that it's not clear.

Put your hands, put your hands

Inside my face and see that it's just you.

But it's bad, and it's mad,

And it's making me sad

Because I can't be with you

Chorus

Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, Be with you,

Be with you, Be with you,

Babe I can't be with you.

Thinking back on how things were

And how we loved so well

I wanted to be the mother

of your child

And now it's just farewell

Put your hands inside my hands

And come with me,

We'll find another end

And my head, and my head

On anyone's shoulder

Cause I can't be with you.

(Chorus)

Cause you're not here, you're not here

Baby I can't be with you

Cause you're not here, you're not here

And back I'm still in love with you.

(ad. lib to end)

Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or

DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard!

The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your

fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on

the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the

strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;)

Use >5th barres for the chords (A == E @ 5th, E == A @ 7th,

F#m == Am @ 7th, D == A @ 5th) when it starts getting going.

Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the

band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better.

Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho.

Enjoy.
