B                      D#m
Oh, why do you look so sad?

The Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

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

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you
               B
I'll stand by you


[Solo]
G#m  A  G#m  F#


[Bridge]
    D#m  G#m              D#m             G#m
And when, when the night falls on you baby
                    E
You're feeling all alone
                  F#
You won't be on your own


[Chorus]
               B                G#m
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
                  A
And I'll never desert you
