E                       G
You are the light of my world
              D
Don't need to try so hard
E                      G
Dreaming of time on my hands
             D
Changing the ways I fall


E   Cadd9   Am7    B7


[Verse 1]
E
I want you
Cadd9                         Am7
But I don't want your reasons why
B7                           E
You can't even look me in my eye
            Cadd9
I told you
                            Am7         B7
So don't you make me say it one more time, But


[Pre-Chorus]
Em              Cadd9
When you went away
Am7                B7
Moonlight took the day
E                 Cadd9
Stars and darkness all collide
Am7                 B7
In the loneliest of space


[Chorus]
         E                       Cadd9
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand, oh?
         Am7                         B7
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?


[Verse 2]
E                 Cadd9
Can you stand the rain?
     Am7
When summer's gone and
        B7
There's no use in
              E                     Cadd9
Weighing it out all the time all in vain
        Am7         B7
Seeping deeper into blame


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
When you went away
Cadd9
Moonlight took the day
Am7                B7
Stars and darkness all collidе

In the loneliest of spacе
E                  Cadd9
When you went away
                 Am7
My universe divided
                       B7
All that’s left is the matter of asking myself


[Chorus]
         E
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?
           Cadd9
Or will you falter
         Am7
Will you lean into the timeless bending
B7                            E
Never-ending strength in your heart
            Cadd9
Or will you prosper
           Am7
Will you recover after all the love
       B7
You've lost and lost again
         E                          Cadd9
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand, woo-woo?
         Am7                          B7
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?


[Bridge]
    C                       Am7
The universe defined it over all of me (Yeah)
    Em                             D
And I've been looking deep into my soul
C                            Am7
Finding my reflection in the mercury (Mercury)
    Em                             D           C         Am7
And turning my transgressions into gold (Whoa, whoa)
                  Em                D
Knew you would be miles away (Yeah, yeah)


C   Am7   F   B7


[Chorus]
C                 Am7
Can you stand the pain, pain, baby?
F          B7
Can you stand?
C                 Am7
Can you stand the rain?
F          B7        C        Am7
Can you stand?
         F          B7
Tell me, can you stand?


[Outro]
C                              Am7
When you went to heaven, oh, I knew you would be miles
      F                         B7
Oh, I knew you would be miles away
                  C
Hey, you couldn’t stay
                       Am7
Now baby, I don’t blame you

I won’t miss you
          F       B7
Too desperately
C                 Am7
Can you stand the rain
                 F
Even through the pain
                      B7
When they calling you out your name
    C               Am7
Oh, you stand the rain even through the pain
F                     B7
When they calling you out your name
C                 Am7
Can you stand the rain?
F                                   B7
Make it through all the things they say
