A#                  C              F
Even if you were a million miles away
              A#
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
    C                          F
And even at the bottom of the sea
              A#
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me
             C                        F  A#
And all the time you were tellin' me lies

Chorus:
     Gm                C             F         A#
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without
you
  Gm               C             F         A#
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Gm         C              F        A#
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had
  Gm               C             F         A#
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, only nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me?
Near me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me
Looking in the sky, I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that
I'll always be in love
With you
Right 'til the end
Oh

Chorus

Gm                                        F/A
Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's about to fall apart
A#                                    C
So rather than hold on to a broken dream
                    Gm
Or just hold on to love
                           F/A A#
And I could find a way to make it
       C           A#/D
Don't hold on too tight
     C/E         F          A#
I'll make it without you tonight

Chorus

Oh, Lord
Have you ever tried sleepin' with a
Without my love
Have you ever tried, have you ever tried?
