[Verse 1]
D
It's quiet here tonight
Em
There's a light burnin' far away
G
It burns in my heart
G
In the rain, in the dark
D
Well, this girl's gonna have her day
[Verse 2]
D
I've been this alone for so long
Em
I'm beginning to wonder why
G
I stand in one place
A
Different name, different face
D
But no one's gonna see me break down and cry
[Chorus]
G
Won't somebody stand by me
D
Stand by me just one time
G
Won't somebody stand by me
D
Stand by me just one time
Bm
Lord, I don't understand
G
What's slipping through these hands
Bm Em
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
G
Here I am
A D
Won't somebody stand, stand by me
[Verse 3]
D
I'm not bending tonight
Em
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
G
I'm starting to know the sound
D
Of nothing and no one and yet everything
D
Well, if God's here tonight
D
Are You here tonight
Em
Maybe You could grab me up
G
Lord, stand me on my feet
A
Give me strength and set me free
D
'Cause I'm not giving in until I've had enough
[Chorus]
G
Won't somebody stand by me
D
Stand by me just one time
G
Won't somebody stand by me
D
Stand by me just one time
Bm
Lord, I don't understand
G
What's slipping through these hands

And I’m goin’ down my one last road.

Here I am

Won’t somebody stand, stand by me
[Chorus]

Stand by me, stand by me
G D
Won't somebody stand by me, by me, by me, stand by me
Bm
I don't understand
G
What's slipping through these hands
Bm Em
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
G
Here I am
A D
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
[Chorus]
G D
Won't somebody stand by me, stand by me just one time
G D
Won't somebody stand by me, stand, yeah

I don't understand

What's slipping through these hands

You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
G
Here I am
A
Won’t you stand, stand…
