D G D/F# A
You've seen every scar I don't show on my skin
D G D/F# A
And you taste every word that hasn't passed my lips
D G D/F# A
You know my every smile and what they all mean
D G D/F# A
Happy, sad and broken or in between
(Pre-Chorus)
Em7
I know you've seen all my imperfections
Bm Asus
You've seen all my rough
Em7
You've seen that I ain't that perfect
Bm G/A
Still you give me love
(Chorus)
D D/F# G
You stand by me
Em7 A
Through the longest nights
D D/F# G
You stand by me
Em7 A
Through the hardest times
D D/F# G
You stand by me
D/F# Em7 A
I know at times I get too much
D A/C# Bm D/F# G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm
D G D/F# A
But you stand by me
(Verse 2)
D G Bm A
You've seen me dance on my two left feet
D G Bm A
But you're not ashamed to dance with me

When you make me lose my breath, you're the air that I need

You stand by me
(Chorus)

You stand by me

Through the longest nights
