D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA A majorA x2

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you

Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Verse 2]

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

Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you

[Bridge]
       C# minorC#m          D MajorD
I’ll be your eyes when yours can’t shine
       A augmentedA         E MajorE      F# minorF#m
I’ll be your arms, I’ll be your steady satellite
          C# minorC#m       D MajorD
And when you can’t rise, well, I’ll cry with you on hands and knees
Cause I...

Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through Hell with you
         E MajorE               D MajorD
Love, you’re not alone, cause I’m gonna stand by you
         E MajorE
Love, you’re not alone
            D MajorD
No, I’m gonna stand by you
 E MajorE           A augmentedA        D MajorD
(Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven)
