BY YOUR SIDE

Original recording is in A, and transposes to C for the bridge and final chorus.
D5
All I want now is to be with you
D5
Cause you know I've been everywhere else
D                   D/F#   Amaj7
Looking back at what you      got me through
D                  D/F#          Amaj7
You knew me better than I knew myself
     Bm              A/C#            E
When I feel lost and I can't find my way
     Bm                  A/C#           E
When words are at a loss I can hear you say
A               F#m                      Bm
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
D               E              A                    F#m
I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side
                  Bm    D       E
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
          D   D/F#  Amaj7
By your side
Fighting my way back to where you are
The only place I ever felt at home
Stumbling backwards through the dark
I know how it feels to be alone
And where we go is where I wanna be
And in the silence I hear you say to me
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
F                           C                G
I can't wait another day to show my space between
Am                       C                 G
Your heart and mine, and you're all that I need
        C
You say I
                Am                     Dm
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
       G                       C                    Am
I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side
                  Dm    F       G
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
           F  F/A  Cmaj7
By your side....
