[G] [C]
[G]I catch myself wishing, [C]you were whispering my name
Every [Em]star, every scar, every mark upon my heart
Up and [C]fades away, [G]I feel myself missing
[C]Everything I threw away, every [Em]dream, every scene
Every [D]song we’d ever sing, got lost in [C]yesterday


I’ve been [G]trying to do without you, but I [C]can’t give up this fight
[Em]Everything will be [D]alright, if I can kiss you [C]tonight
We can [G]make it to tomorrow, if we can [C]find the morning light
[Em]Everything will be [D]alright, if I can kiss you [C]tonight


[G]Do you find yourself wondering, [C]if I still think about you
Every [Em]thought, every step, every [D]tear and every breath
I swear [C]I do, that’s all I ever do


I’ve been [G]trying to do without you, but I [C]can’t give up this fight
[Em]Everything will be [D]alright, if I can kiss you [C]tonight
We can [G]make it to tomorrow, if we can [C]find the morning light
[Em]Everything will be [D]alright, if I can kiss you [C]tonight
If I can kiss you tonight
