A

[Verse]
 A                       E F#m                 A  D
  When the night has come   and the land is dark
                    E
And the moon is the only light we'll see

A
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
F#m7         D     A
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new

A                          F#m
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
        D            E              A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
   E
So darling

E                                         F#m
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
D          A
Time after time
       E                           F#m
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
D          A
Time after time

A       D         E
I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour)
A       D         E
I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)
A        D        E
I'll be there for you

                 D
'Cause I'm gonna need
            E    A
Somebody to lean on

A                           D
Lean on me, when you're not strong
                 A
And I'll be your friend
                  E
And I'll help you carry on

 D           E        A                F#m7
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh, stand by me
    D                E
Oh, stand, won't you stand, stand by me

A       D         E
I'll be there for you (When you're not strong)
A       D         E     A         D
I'll be there for you (Time after time)
A
I'm gonna need
                     G  A
Someone there for me too
