[Opening]
Yesterday just came and went
[Am]And today dealt me another hand of heartache that I’ll play
[Am]What we said and what we meant
[Em]Two different [Am]things, just [Em]some words [Am]and rings
And [Dm]time keeps raising the stakes

[verse 2]
[Am]Tonight I’ll find you in my dreams
[Am]And tomorrow I’ll wake up and have to feel you fade away
[Am]And that’s the way it goes it seems
[Em]Tears filled with [Am]pain and [Em]they fall [Am]like rain
[Dm]Constant reminders every day

[chorus]
[F]Without your love, [G]the sky is grey
[F]Without your love, [G]I’m waiting on the sun to shine
[F]Without your love, [G]every hour is the [E]darkest time of [Am]day
[Am]And every moment’s a crime, [Am]and every moment’s a crime

[Closing]
[Am]
[G]The more I live without you, [E]just can’t forget about you
[Am]Nobody [Am]else can set me [Am]free, baby, [Am]please come [Am]back to [Am]me
Baby, [Am]please come [Am]back to [Am]me

[chorus]
[F]Without your love, [G]the sky is grey
[F]Without your love, [G]I’m just waiting on the sun to shine
[F]Without your love, [G]every hour is the [E]darkest time of [Am]day
[Am]And every [Am]moment’s a [Am]crime, without your [Am]love
[Am]And every [Am]moment’s a [Am]crime, without your [Am]love
[Am]And I’m just [Am]doing my [Am]time, without your [Am]love
[Am]And every [Am]moment’s a [Am]crime
[Am]
