[Spoken Intro]
So, I wanted to play this song that I super love
This song actually also introduced me to this keyboard here
Which is now one of my favorites
Sounds like a little airplane

[Verse 1]
Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me

And all the time you were tellin' me lies, hey

[Chorus]
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

[Post-Chorus]
Uh, yeah, uh, let's do it, baby
Let's do it, baby; let's do it, baby
Let's do it, do it

[Verse 2]
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, on me, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me, need me
I thought you told me you'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I'll always be in love with you
Right 'til the end, oh

[Chorus]
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

[Bridge]
Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
I'll just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

[Chorus]
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

[Interlude]
Uh, uh, uh, yeah, uh, uh
It's actually my favorite part of the song, when it breaks down
Uh, uh, uh

[Outro]
Ah, thank you, mmm
