A                 C#m                          D
Oh, why you look so sad? The tears are in your eyes

                    A   E
Come on and come to me now

But don't, be ashamed to cry, let me see you through

'Cause I've seen in the dark side too 

C#m                  F#m             C#m              F#m
When the night falls on you, and you don't know what to do 

                D                            E
Nothing you confess, could make me love you less 


               A                 F#m
I’ll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Come on and talk to me now 

G                     Bm                C
Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too 

             Em      D
Well, I'm a lot like you 

Bm                           Em
When you're standing at the crossroads, 

     Bm                         Em
But don't know, which path to choose 

             C                            D
Let me come along, 'cause even if you're wrong 


                A                 F#m                  
 I’ll stand by you, I'll stand by you 

                  Em                      A            
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you

                      F#m                          Em
Take me in to, your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you,

I'll stand by you

                    D                           E
You're feeling all alone, you won't be on your own

I’ll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you baby, I'll stand by you
