Next To You - The Police
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
Intro: D-D-A-A-E-E
I can't stand it for another day [D-D-A-A-E-E]
When you live so many miles away [D-D-A-A-E-E]
Nothing here is gonna make me stay [D-D-A-A-E-E]
You took me over let me find a way [D-D-A-A-E-E]
I sold my house I sold my motor, too [D-D-A-A-E-E]
All I want is to be next to you [D-D-A-A-E-E]
I'd rob a bank maybe steal a plane [D-D-A-A-E-E]
You took me over think I'm goin' insane
[C#m] What can I [D]do [E] all I want is to be next to you
[C#m] What can I [D]do [E] all I want is to be next to you[D-D-A-A-E-E]

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more [D-D-A-A-E-E]
But I've never felt like this before [D-D-A-A-E-E]
But I just don't know what's come over me [D-D-A-A-E-E]
You took me over, take a look at me

Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind [D/E] [D/E] [D/E] [D-D-A-A-E-E]
When all it is is just a love affair [D/E] [D/E] [D/E] [D-D-A-A-E-E]
You took me over baby, take me there [D/E] [D/E] [D/E]
[C#m] What can I [D]do [E] all I want is to be next to you
