I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, let me find a way
I sold my house
I sold my mother, too
All I want is to be next to you.
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over
Think I'm goin' insane
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
Saw my doctor he said give it time
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you...

version 3
The intro (and after each line in the verse) is series of quick double hits of the D, A
E chords. I marked this as D-D-A-A-E-E. These sound fine as open chords. While the
is sung, you can strum the top three strings of an E chord. For the chorus, play C#m, D
E as barre chords. Right after the chorus, Andy Summers does a barre chord slide from
to E three times - denoted as D/E. This part ain't easy! - stodman
