[Verse]
D               F#m
Oh, why look so sad
                  G
Tears are in your eyes
                    D/A A A/C#
Come on and come to me  now
D     Bm            F#m
Don't be ashamed to cry
               G
Let me see you through
                    Bm        A
Cause I've seen the dark side too


[Bridge]
F#m                  Bm
When the night falls on you
F#m                Bm
Don't know what to do
               G
Nothing you confess 
                       A
Could make me love you less


[Chorus]
              D                  Bm7
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                 Am7
Won't let nobody hurt you
           G | D   F G |
I'll stand by you


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

[Bridge]
            Em              Am
When you're standing at the crossroads
      Em                 Am
Don't know which path to choose
             F(add9)
Let me come along
                     Gsus4
Cause even if you're wrong

[Chorus]
              D                  Bm7
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                 Am7
Won't let nobody hurt you
           G  D
I'll stand by you
                   Bm7
Baby, even to your darkest hour
                 Am7
And I'll never desert you,
           G [ D ]
I'll stand by you.

You're feeling all alone, you won't be on your own
