Intro:  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 


(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

                                                          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
