C               Em
Oh why you look so sad
                     F
The tears are in your eyes
                    Am G  
Come on and come to me now
C                   Em
Don’t be ashamed to cry
               F
Let me see you through
                    Am        G
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

Em             Am
When the night falls on you
Em                     Am
You don't know what to do
               F
Nothing you confess
                       G
Could make me love you less

              C
I’ll stand by you
              Am
I’ll stand by you
                 Gm
Won’t let nobody hurt you
C
I’ll stand by you

C                    Em
So if you're mad get mad
                    F
Don’t hold it all inside
                    Am G
Come on and talk to me now
C                    Em
Hey, what you got to hide
            F
I get angry too
           Am       G
Well I’m a lot like you

Em                          Am
When you're standing at the crossroads 
Em                           Am
And don't know which path to choose
            F
Let me come along
                     G
Cause even if you're wrong

              C
I’ll stand by you
              Am
I’ll stand by you
                 Gm
Won’t let nobody hurt you
              C
I’ll stand by you
                    Am
Take me in into you darkest hour
               Gm
And I’ll never desert you
              C
I’ll stand by you

          Em             Am 
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
    Em              Am
You don't know what to do 
                   F
You're feeling all alone
                     G
You won't be on your own
