[Intro]

D E A A x2

[Verse 1]

D        E       A
Hands, put your empty hands in mine
  D       E         F#m
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
  D      E
And hey, if your wings are broken
A      E    F#m    E   D
Please take mine so yours can open too
   E         A
Cause I’m gonna stand by you
  D       E         A
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
  D          E         F#m
And hurt, I know you’re hurting, but so am I
  D       E
And love, if your wings are broken
A   E    F#m    E  D
Borrow mine so yours can open too
E*             A
Cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Chorus]

(A)                           F#m
Even if we’re breaking down, we can find a way to break through
                             D
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you
         E               A
Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you
                         F#m
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’m gonna stand by you
                             D
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you
         E               D
Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Verse 2]

(D)      E         A
Yeah, you’re all I never knew I needed
    D        E           F#m
And the heart, sometimes it’s unclear why it’s beating
  D       E
And love, if your wings are broken
A   E       F#m  E    D
We can brave through those emotions too
   E         A
Cause I’m gonna stand by you
  D       E          A
Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in
  D       E          F#m
And faith, I think faith is helping to reason
      D       E
No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken
A   E    F#m    E  D
Borrow mine so yours can open too
E*            A
Cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Chorus]

(A)                           F#m
Even if we’re breaking down, we can find a way to break through
                             D
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you
          E               A
Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you
                         F#m
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’m gonna stand by you
                             D
Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you
         E               F#m
Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Bridge]
       C#m          D
I’ll be your eyes when yours can’t shine
       A         E      F#m
I’ll be your arms, I’ll be your steady satellite
          C#m       D
And when you can’t rise, well, I’ll cry with you on hands and knees
Cause I...
          (A)
(I’m gonna stand by you)

Love, you’re not alone
            D
No, I’m gonna stand by you
 E           A        D
(Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven)
 E         A
