A7       Em7
I'm only half a man
G         A7
When I'm not by your side
         Em7
I try to make a plan
G      A7
And I don't try to hide

Chorus:
Em7                        G 
Come on over closer to me
    C#m7-5                   C               Em7
And everything will be just like it should be

Why don't you help me
Please don't stand on your pride
I feel so empty
Why don't you let me inside

Chorus

Em7
You (you, you, you)
Set my soul on fire
A7
You (you, you, you)
               Em7
Fill me with desire
     C               B Em7
Whenever I'm near you

I'm only half a man
When I'm not by your side
I try to make a plan
And I don't try to hide
