Verse 1
G C
I’m tired of talkin’ on the telephone
G D
And starin’ at this computer screen
G C
I’m tired of drivin’ down this interstate
G D
And all the places in between
G C
I’m tired of sleepin’ in this motel bed
G D
And wakin’ up alone
G C
I’d give anything to have you here with me
G D
Or me back home
Chorus
G C
And I wish that you were in my arms instead
G D
Lyin’ right here next to me
G C
I’d trade a million yesterdays
G D
For one tonight for free
G C
And I wish that you were in my arms instead
G D
Of just a picture in my head
G C
I’d give anything to have you here
G D
In my arms instead
Verse 2
G C
I’m tired of hearin’ “I love you, baby”
G D
Through a satellite up in the air
G C
I’m tired of tellin’ you I miss you
G D
When you’re not really there
G C
I’m tired of seein’ you on video
G D
It’s just not close enough
G C
I’d give anything to touch your face
G D
And all that other stuff
Chorus
G C
And I wish that you were in my arms instead
G D
Lyin’ right here next to me
G C
I’d trade a million yesterdays
G D
For one tonight for free
G C
And I wish that you were in my arms instead
G D
Of just a picture in my head
G C
I’d give anything to have you here
G D
In my arms instead
Bridge
Em C
I know you’re waitin’ just like me
G D
For the day I don’t have far to go
Em C
And I can’t wait to hold you tight
G D
And never have to let you go
Chorus
G C
And I wish that you were in my arms instead
G D
Lyin’ right here next to me
G C
I’d trade a million yesterdays
G D
For one tonight for free
G C

G D
Of just a picture in my head
G C
I’d give anything to have you here
