C
I live for the phone I die for the mail
C
I took your picture Right off the nail
F
And put it right by my bed So I could see you instead
C
Of the darkness of night
C
I hold conversations with you in my mind
C
They only tighten this knot deep inside
F
And the aching won't end till I hold you again
G
If I only survive
C
Why did you have to go
G C F
Why am I missing you so
C G C
One heartbeat at a time
F
I'm going out of my mind
PM
C
I started a letter I stared at your name
C
There wasn't a line That didn't echo my pain
F
There was no sound at all But the slow lonely fall
C G
Of an unspoken tear
C
Why did you have to go
G C F
Why am I missing you so
C G C
One heartbeat at a time
F
I'm going out of my mind
F
Missing you, missing you
G F
Life may take us In different directions
G F
But I always end up deeper Deeper in my true affection
C
Why did you have to go
G C F
Why am I missing you so

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you

Missing you, missing you

Missing you, missing you

Missing you baby

Missing you, missing you...
