[Intro]
D Bm A G

D                      F#m
Oh, why do you look so sad?
                       G
The Tears are in your eyes
                    D   A  Asus4
Come on and come to me now
D     Bm            F#m
Don't be ashamed to cry
               G  
Let me see you through
                      D         A
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
F#m                 Bm
When the night falls on you
F#m                    Bm
You don't know what to do
              G
Nothing you confess
                     A*
Could make me love you less

               D                Bm
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you

F  G  

C                Em
So if you're mad, get mad

Come on and talk to me now
C    Am              Em
Hey, what you got to hide
          F
I get angry too
           Am        G    
Well I'm a lot like you
Em                           Am
When you're standing at the crossroads
          Em                   Am
And don't know which patch to choose
              F
Let me come along
                   G7
'Cause even if you're wrong

       G       D                Bm
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                  C                       D
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you
                      Bm
Take me in, into your darkest hour
                  C
And I'll never desert you
               D
I'll stand by you

Bm  C  Bm  A

    F#m Bm                F#m            Bm
And when, when the night falls on you baby
                    G
You're feeling all alone
                  A*
You won't be on your own

               D                Bm
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                  C                       D
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you
                      Bm
Take me in, into your darkest hour
                  C
And I'll never desert you
               D               Bm
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                  C 
Won't let nobody hurt you
D
