Verse

C                    C/Bb
  There's distance between us
F/A                      C
  And you're on my mind
F                      C
  As I lay here in the darkness
      Dm              Gsus4  G
I can find no peace inside

Chorus

                C               F
I wish you were here holding me tight
             C                     F
If I had you near, you'd make it alright
                C
I wish you were here
         F           F/G    | C | C G |
'Cause I feel like a child tonight

Verse

C                    C/Bb
  There's rain on my window
F/A                   C
  And I can count the drops
F                          C
  But I can't help feeling lonely
           Dm                       Gsus4  G
There's no way, no way that I could stop

Chorus

                C               F
I wish you were here holding me tight
             C                     F
If I had you near, you'd make it alright
                C
I wish you were here
         F           F/G    | C | C |
'Cause I feel like a child tonight

Bridge

F/A          G6                 F
 Each moment, ooh, ooh is a memory
            E
Time's so unkind
      E                        Am
Every hour filled with an emptiness
Am/G     F
 I can't hide

Verse

C                    C/Bb
 Oh, this distance between us
F/A                     C
Can't get you off of my mind
F                      C
  As I lay here in the darkness
      Dm              Gsus4  G
I can find no peace inside

Chorus

                C               F
I wish you were here holding me tight
             C                     F
If I had you near, you'd make it alright
                C
I wish you were here
         F           F/G    | C | C |
'Cause I feel like a child tonight
