D E A A x2

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

                                                          D
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
                   E                             A
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
                                                 F#m

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

[Bridge]
             C#m                   D
I'll be your eyes when yours can't shine
             A                  E           F#m
I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
                   C#m              D
And when you can't rise, well, I'll cry with you on hands and knees
Cause I...
                    (A)
(I'm gonna stand by you)

                                                        (F#m) 
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through (come on)
                                                          (D)
