By My Side Chords by Ben Harper

Don't you get ahead of me, [F] and I won't leave you behind.
If you get unhappy, [C] won't you show [F] me a sign?
There's no [Bb] love like a lost [C] love, and no pain like [F] a broken heart.
There's no love like you and me, and no [C] loss like [F] us apart.
Promises, [Bb] promises, [C] _ only [F] a word.
And when softness spoken [C] is [F] never heard,
And a heart [C] is [F] not a stone,
Your hand is fragile, [C] it's [G] fragile when [F] alone.
[F] By [C] my side, [Dm] by [Bb] my side, [Gm] won't [Bb] you be [C] by my [Bb] side?

By [C] my side, [Dm] by [Bb] my [Gm] side, won't [Bb] you be by [C] my [Bb] [F] side? _

All my care for you is [C] from the [F] ground up to the sky.
From under, [Bb] up [F] above, down below, and to the side.
There's no use [Bb] in pretending, [C] no use [F] in saving face.
For my love is never ending, and [C] you are [F] my saving grace.
By [C] my side, [Dm] by [Bb] my side, [Gm] won't you [Bb] be by my [C] side?
