By My Side

Gm           F        A#        
I act like I left her, but I 
            Cm
really beg her to stay.
And the more that I press her is the
 more she slips
away.
Act like I don't need her but...Yo, 
you're
necessary...
Like ten days from now I won't see 
your face when I
sleep.

Gm               F      A#      
Act like I can hear, but Jah 
        Cm
knows I'm deaf.
Act like I can see but now, yo, from
 me sight has
left.
Act like I don't know but, I know 
these things...
Act like I don't feel it but I'm 
gonna feel it, every
morning now on

Chorus (one measure or four reggae 
skanks per chord):
Gm           A#
Each morning, on each night
Cm                 F
when I need you by my side
on each morning and on each night
when I need you

Like I don't care but each and every
 time
your face comes across it never ever
 leaves my mind.
Oh, like I don't know but...I know 
your thing
like I don't feel it, but I'm gonna 
feel it every
evening now on -

Each morning, on each night
when I need you by my side
on each morning and on each night
when I need you

N.C. (maybe an A# to Cm if anything)
I act like I left her, but the truth
 is I beg her, beg
her to stay...
Gm                  F            
And the more that I press her, 
            A#                  Cm
means all the more that she slips 
away.
Act like I don't need her, but I'm 
here to tell you
that you're necessary.
Like ten days from now I won't see 
your face when I'm
on -

Each morning, on each night
when I need you by my side
on each morning and on each night
when I need you by my side.

- On each morning and on each night 
when I need you so
desperately.
