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

(Pre-Chorus)
E minor 7Em7
I know you've seen all my imperfections
B minorBm         AsusAsus
You've seen all my rough
E minor 7Em7
You've seen that I ain't that perfect
B minorBm         G/AG/A
Still you give me love

(Chorus)
D MajorD       D/F#D/F#  G+G
You stand by me
E minor 7Em7         A augmentedA
Through the longest nights
       D MajorD  D/F#D/F#   G+G

Through the hardest times
       D MajorD  D/F#D/F#  G+G
You stand by me

I know at times I get too much
     D MajorD    A/C#A/C#  B minorBm  D/F#D/F#  G/AG/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm
         D MajorD  G+G  D/F#D/F# A augmentedA
But you stand by me

(Verse 2)
D MajorD       G+G          B minorBm  A augmentedA
You've seen me dance on my two left feet

But you're not ashamed to dance with me
D MajorD        G+G              B minorBm     A augmentedA
When you make me lose my breath, you're the air that I need

You stand by me
