Written by: Lisa Palas/Will Robinson/John Jarrard Album: 40 Hour Week Key: This is just another superb love song that Alabama has taken to the Number 1 spot in their illustrious career. This is an ideal song to put in your stereo during candlelight dinners or quiet times spent with the one you love. ****Here is how I play the opening piano solo on guitar. It's not exactly how it's supposed to be, but it's close. e---------------------------------------------------------------e b-----------------4----------4---0----------------------------b g--------3-----------------------------0---3---3-------------g D----0------5---------------------------------------5---0----D A---------------------------------------------------------------A E---------------------------------------------------------------E e--------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- b--------------o-----------------------o--------------------o--------- -----------3 g----o------------o----------------o-----o-------------o-----o------3- -----3-- D----------o---------------5----------------------3------------------- ----3------ A--------------------------------------------------------- --------------0---------- E----4---------------------3----------------------3------------------- ------------ As I lay.... e--3----------- b--------------- g-------------- D-0----------- A-------------- E-------------- 1st Verse: As I lay by your side and hold you tonight, I want you to understand, This love that I feel is so right and so real, And I realize how lucky I am. And should you ever wonder if my love is true, There's something that I wanna make clear to you. There's no way I could make it without you, There's no way that I'd even try, If I had to survive, without you in my life, I know I wouldn't last a day, Oh baby, there's no way. (Repeat opening riff) 2nd Verse: It means so much to me, whenever I see, That "wanting me look" in your eyes, I don't know how I could do without, Holding you close every night. I've waited so long just to have you to hold, And now that I've got you, I'll never let go. (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: I never knew until you, what I was missing, Now you say forever, and I find my heart is listening. Yes I'm listening. (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Opening Riff with the 1st have of the riff done twice) Tag: Baby, there's just no way. Questions or Comments? Eric Huffman [email protected]
