C#                    G#
I know you're in the sun
C#                       F#
I know you're close to ev'ryone
 A#m                    D#m                  A#m
At times it's like you don't have a hold on me

I see you in the love
I see you in the moon above
 A#m                           D#m
But I want to know that you're not lost
         A#m C# A#m C#
inside of me

Chorus:
C#          A#m
You know I need you
C#          A#m
You know I love you
C#
If I'm not with you
    F#                G#
I'm not so much of a man
                        C#
I'm like a fish on the sand

You call me in the night (you call me in the night)
And hide behind the daylight
You're blowing like a wind, you don't let me see

You know I feel a pain (you know I feel a pain)
I'm tired of playing games with you
Though there's nothing else I want that would
set me free

Chorus:
You know I love you
You know I need you
If I can't be with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand

 F                            A#m
No use to no one else, they've all dried up
F#
Watching all our lives go by
   D                                  G#
I can't believe you'd want to see me crying

I hold you in my heart (hold you in my heart)
I know that you're a part of me
But it's a must to know that you love me too

I look you in the eye (look you in the eye)
You're swimming by my teardrops
But I want to know for sure that you'll let me see

Chorus:
You know I want you
You know I need you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm like a fish on the sand

You know I need you
You know I love you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand

Not so much of a man
More a fish on the sand
