Claire Elle - By My Side

	  		Intro: F#m D A E 

Verse 1:
F#m     D                A            E 
I can close my eyes and picture your face 
F#m        D         A          E 
And I can read your words on a page 
F#m        D          A   E 
But it is never the same 
F#m     D                A              E 
I can look back at the memories we've made 
F#m          D       A             E 
And imagine out the ones we will make 
F#m                D            A   E 
But it never even could be the same 

Pre-Chorus
 
F#m            D                 A   E 
And how can I walk when I keep falling, 
    F#m         D       A    E 
and you're not here to catch me? 


F#m           D               A     E 
We've always wished we could stop time 
F#m         D           A        E 
Cause life goes by too fast sometimes 
F#m        D          A          E 
And when I can't see you I feel blind, 
F#m      D         A       E      F#m 
Sometimes I just need you by my side
 

Verse 2:
F#m          D                 A            E 
You always make me smile when everything's tough 
F#m     D   A     E 
Why is it never enough? 
F#m             D           A               E 
Sometimes I'm sinking and I need a hand to hold 
F#m          D             A    E 
But when I reach out I'm left alone 

Pre-Chorus
F#m            D                   A                  E 
And how can I fly when you're the one that gives me wings? 
F#m        D            A                            E 
How can I live when my life begins when you're with me? 


F#m           D               A     E 
We've always wished we could stop time 
F#m         D           A        E 
Cause life goes by too fast sometimes 
F#m        D          A          E 
And when I can't see you I feel blind, 
F#m      D         A       E      F#m 
Sometimes I just need you by my side 


Instrumental 
F#m D A E 

Bridge:
F#m         D              A             E 
I saw the sunlight when I saw your face again 
F#m         D     A               E 
No one can ever replace you, my friends 
F#m          D 
But it goes by too fast, 
A                      E 
Before we knew it our time had passed 
     F#m                 D                    A 
And sometimes you can't stop the tears from falling 
                 E 
Because you are too 


F#m           D               A     E 
We've always wished we could stop time 
F#m         D           A        E 
Cause life goes by too fast sometimes 
F#m        D          A          E 
And when I can't see you I feel blind, 
F#m      D         A    E         F#m  D A E 
Sometimes I just need you by my side 
E     F#m D A 
By my si-de 
 E 
ohhh
