F Dm F Dm G A A#

verse

F Dm
without you , there’s no change
F Dm
my nights and days are grey

G A A#
if i reached out and touched the rain
F Dm
it just wouldn’t feel the same

F Dm
without you , i’d be lost
F Dm
i’d slip down from the top
G A A#
i’d slide down so low
F Dm
girl you never , never know . . .

without you , woman ,
G# A# C E#
the world comes down on me

F Dm
without you in my life
F Dm
i’d slowly wilt and die
G A A#
but with you by my side
F Dm
you’re the reason i’m alive
G A A#
but with you in my life
F Dm
you’re the reason i’m alive
G A A#
but without you , without you . . .

the song naturally is , as most motley songs are , two steps down . this tab is in
conventional tuning , but proper key . it helps to hit the bass note first and play around with
the rest of the chord when warranted .
