Oh why you look so sad

Come on and come to me now

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

I’ll stand by you

Come on and talk to me now
C                   G
Hey, what you got to hide

I get angry too
            A       Am
Well I’m a lot like you

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

Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you
