Intro: G#m B F# C#

        B
I tried money
         D#m
I got as much as I could 
and I went to the store
      B
And I bought it all 
       D#m
But it wasn't enough 
'cause I wanted some more 
         B
But my house was full
              Ebm
So I bought a bigger house
    D9-
and filled it up
    Ebm7/C#           Cm7
And there I was with all that stuff 
    B
And empty 

G#m               B                F#
Nothing else can take the place of You 
     C#
It's true 
G#m               B                F#
Nothing else can take the place of You
            C#
I know it's true 

        B
Still I try friendship 
         D#m
I called everyone I knew
                            B
And invited them over for a party
         D#m
They ate all the free food 
                                B
And they told me how much they loved me 
             Ebm
But when the food was gone 
   D9-
My friends were gone 
    Ebm7/C#       Cm7
And there I was all alone 
    B
And empty 

G#m               B                F#
Nothing else can take the place of You
         C#
Nothing else 
G#m               B                F#
Nothing else can take the place of You 
             C#
I know it's true 

B               F#
So take the place 
               C#
The place of you 
                 G#m
And fill this space
              B
The way you do 
                     F#
I'm tired of searching 
                     C#
Those days are through 
So take the place 
                 G#m B F# C#
It's made for you 

       G#m                B
Not friends or money or alcohol 
F#
None of these things, believe me 
        C#
You can try them all 
    G#m
Not status
       B
Not success
       F#
I know none of these things 
                     C#
will ever bring true happiness 

G#m              B                 F#
Nothing else can take the place of You 
          C#
Nothing else 
G#m              B                 F# C#
Nothing else can take the place of You 
       
Yes, I know

Nothing else can take the place of You
