[D]
[Bm] [A] [G]
[D] Oh, why [F#m] you look so sad?
Tears [G] are in your eyes
Come on [D] and come to [A] me now
[D] Don't [Bm] be [F#m] ashamed to cry
Let [G] me see you through
Cause [Bm] I've seen the dark [A] side too
[F#m] When the night [Bm] falls on you
[F#m] You don't know [Bm] what to do

Come on and [C] talk to [G] me now
[C] Hey, [Am] what you [Em] got to hide?
I get [F] angry too
When [Am] I'm in love with a [G] lucky you
When [Em] you're standing at [Am] the crossroads
[Em] Don't know which path [Am] to choose
Let me [F] come along
Cause even [G] if you're wrong
I'll stand [D] by you
I'll stand [Bm] by you
Won't let nobody [Am] hurt you
