[Intro] G/B  C  Am  Em  D

     G                         Am                C
It's harder to see through the eyes of a stranger
     G                       Am                    C
It's easier to love when the world doesn't hate you
         G                   Am               C
When you try to sing out but nobody hears a word
     G                      Am                    C
It's safer to swim when the tide's not against you

[Pre-Chorus]

     C
Yeah-yeah (You've been here before)
                           Am
I know you've been here before
(Never letting go)
                         Em
And giving up is letting go
(Never fight alone)
                               D
But you don't have to fight alone

[Chorus]

            G         Am
I'll shed a tear for you
          C                 Em
Open your eyes, I'm by your side
          G       Am
I'm never leaving you
            C                       Em
Darkness to light, stay through the night
      D/F#  G       Am
I'm walking in your shoes
       C
So you know that it's the truth
              G        Am
When nobody's here for you
               C
Let me make it clear
                        G
That I shed a, I shed a tear
                     Am
(Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear)
    C
Ooh-hoo
(Shed a tear, shed a tear)

    G                          Am                    C
And I'll feel your pain when I know you're in trouble
    G                             Am                  C
And I'll take the blame from your hurt and your struggle
             G                    Am               C
And when you try to speak out but nobody hears a word
G                            Am                 C
I'll be your voice, lay your head on my shoulder

[Pre-Chorus]

 C
Oh (you've been here before)
                           Am
I know you've been here before
(Never letting go)
                       Em
And nothing is impossible
(Never fight alone)
                          D
You don't have to fight alone

[Chorus]

           G        Am
I'll shed a tear for you
          C                 Em
Open your eyes, I'm by your side
          G       Am
I'm never leaving you
            C                       Em
Darkness to light, stay through the night
      D/F#  G       Am
I'm walking in your shoes
       C
So you know that it's the truth
              G        Am
When nobody's here for you
               C
Let me make it clear

                  G
That I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear
(Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear)
Am                       C
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear)
                         G
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear)
(Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear)
Am                       C
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear, whoah-oh)

[Bridge]

C                       Bm                Em  D  G/B
 And when you're livin' in your darkest hour (whoah)
C                        G/B           D
 And when you're gettin' closer to the edge

[Chorus]

            G        Am
I'll shed a tear for you
          C                 Em
Open your eyes, I'm by your side
          G       Am
I'm never leavin' you
            C                       Em
Darkness to light, stay through the night
       D/F# G       Am
I'm walkin' in your shoes
       C
So you know that it's the truth
              G        Am
When nobody's here for you
               C
Let me make it clear

[Outro]

                         G
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear
(Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear)
Am                       C
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear)
                         G
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear)
(Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear)
                         C
I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (shed a tear)
                        G
I'll shed a, I'll hed a tear (shed a tear)
