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 . . . .
