Stand By Me chords by John Newman

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

(Verse 1)
D      G              D/F#   A
You've seen every scar I don't show on my skin
D       G                D/F#  A
And you taste every word that hasn't passed my lips
D      G               D/F#   A
You know my every smile and what they all mean
D    G            D/F#   A
Happy, sad and broken or in between

(Pre-Chorus)
Em7
I know you've seen all my imperfections
Bm         Asus
You've seen all my rough
Em7
You've seen that I ain't that perfect
Bm         G/A
Still you give me love

(Chorus)
D       D/F#  G
You stand by me
Em7         A
Through the longest nights
       D  D/F#   G
You stand by me
Em7         A
Through the hardest times
       D  D/F#  G
You stand by me
 D/F#   Em7      A
I know at times I get too much
     D    A/C#  Bm  D/F#  G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm
         D  G  D/F# A
But you stand by me

(Verse 2)
D       G          Bm  A
You've seen me dance on my two left feet
D       G           Bm  A
But you're not ashamed to dance with me
D        G              Bm     A
When you make me lose my breath, you're the air that I need
       D  G  Bm  G/A
You stand by me

(Chorus)
D        D/F# G
You stand by me
Em7         A
Through the longest nights
       D  D/F#  G
You stand by me
Em7         A
Through the hardest times
       D  D/F#  G
You stand by me
 D/F#   Em7      A
I know at times I get too much
     D      A/C#  Bm D/F# G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm

(Pre-Chorus)

I know you've seen all my imperfections
