[Verse 1]
D                A                G               D
Danny ran into some complications
D                A                              G                D
He falls asleep during conversations
D                A                              G                              D
He’s gotta search the street when he’s on vacation
D                A                              G                              D
The worst thing is that I’m in the same situation

[Chorus]
D
And all I do is sit and think about you
A
If I knew what you’d do
Bm
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Verse 2]

And Danny says we’re living in a simulation
D                A                              G                              D
But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)
D                A                G                              D
He says it all began with his operation
D                              A                                             G                              D
And I know you think you’re sly but you need some imagination

[Chorus]
D
And all I do is sit and think about you
A
If I knew what you’d do
Bm
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you
D
All I do is sit and drink without you
A
If I choose then I lose
Bm
Distract my brain from the terrible news
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Bridge]
D
I can’t stop sweating or control my feet
A
I’ve got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can’t beat
Bm
I can stage a situation, but I just can’t eat
G
And there’s a feeling, you’re replacing embrace

[Chorus]
D                                                          A
It’s true that, all I do is sit and think about you
A
If I knew what you’d do
Bm
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you
D
All I do is sit and drink without you
A
If I choose then I lose
Bm
Distract my brain from the terrible news
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Outro]
D
Oh, I’ll try to get a job in a bank, I think
A
Danny spent time trying to pack in the drinks for me
Bm
I feel sick and I know I can’t lose but
G                                                          D
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
G                                                          D
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
D                                                          G
It’s not, it’s not, It’s not living if it’s not with you
D                                            D
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
D
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not, it’s not
G
It’s not living if it’s not with you
