A   F#m             C#m 
Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes
                    F#m - E
Come on and come to me now
A         F#m       C#m
Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

'Cause i've seen the dark side too
C#m                  F#m       
When the night falls on you
C#m                    F#m
You don't know what to do
               D
Nothing you confess
                       E  
Could make me love you less

Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too
           Em       D
Well i'm a lot like you
            Bm              Em
When you're standing at the crossroads
          Bm                 Em
And don't know which path to choose
             C
Let me come along

'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you

When the night falls on you, baby

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

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you
       A/G#           F#m
Take me in, into your darkest hour
