[Verse 1]
Em           D#         D
You hold the keys to my heart,
    G            A           Am
You hold all the cards to my life,
            G                 C
And all the things I tried to hide,
           D   D
You holdem too
    Em               D#          D
And You, catch every tear that I cried
                    A            Am
You always catch my heart when I lied
            G                 C
And all the things I tried to hide,
               D   D
You catch them too.


[Chorus]
         Em
Standing right by my side, oh oh
          Am
All of my life, oh oh
           G
Holding me close, oh oh
           D
Holding me tight! oh oh
            Em
And I never thought oh oh
             Am
You would be mine, oh oh
            G     G              D
You open my heart,   You open my eyes
                     Em
Standing right by my side,
 N.C.

[Verse 2]
Em          D#          D
You are the trees in my field
                A             Am
You're the only thing that is real
               G             C        D
The only other thing that is real, is You
    Em         D#          D
And I hope You know that I care
              A                        C
I want you to know that I'll always be there
             G              C              D
And I always be the one who sleeps next to you

[Chorus]
Em
   Standing right by your side, oh oh
          Am
All of my life, oh oh
           G
Holding me close, oh oh
           D
Holding me tight! La la
            Em
And I never thought oh oh
             Am
You would be mine
            G                  D
You open my heart, You open my eyes
                     Em
Standing right by my side, oh oh
