Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Cause i've seen the darkside too

When the night falls on you
 C            Em
Don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Can make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you

I get angry too

Well I'm alive like you

Bridge:
Em                        C
When you're standing at the crossroads
