D           G                           D/F#      A
You've seen every scar I don't show on my skin
D             G                               D/F#    A
And you taste every word that hasn't passed my lips
D           G                             D/F#     A
You know my every smile and what they all mean
D       G                       D/F#     A
Happy, sad and broken or in between

(Pre-Chorus)
Em7
I know you've seen all my imperfections
Bm                 Asus
You've seen all my rough
Em7
You've seen that I ain't that perfect
Bm                 G/A
Still you give me love

(Chorus)
D              D/F#   G
You stand by me
Em7                 A
Through the longest nights
             D    D/F#     G
You stand by me
Em7                 A
Through the hardest times
             D    D/F#    G
You stand by me
  D/F#      Em7           A
I know at times I get too much
          D        A/C#   Bm   D/F#   G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm
                  D   G   D/F#  A
But you stand by me

(Verse 2)
D              G                    Bm    A
You've seen me dance on my two left feet
D              G                     Bm   A
But you're not ashamed to dance with me
D               G                           Bm         A
When you make me lose my breath, you're the air that I need
              D   G   Bm   G/A
You stand by me

(Chorus)
D                D/F#  G
You stand by me
Em7                 A
Through the longest nights
             D   D/F#   G
You stand by me
Em7                 A
Through the hardest times
              D   D/F#   G
You stand by me
  D/F#      Em7           A
I know at times I get too much
          D           A/C#   Bm  D/F#  G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm

(Pre-Chorus)
Em7
I know you've seen all my imperfections
Bm                 A
You've seen all my rough
Em7
You've seen that I ain't that perfect
Bm                 G/A
Still you give me love

(Chorus)
              D   D/F#   G
You stand by me
Em7                  A
Through the hardest times
             D   D/F#   G
You stand by me
Em7                  A
Through the longest nights
             D   D/F#   G
You stand by me
  D/F#     Em7            A
I know at times I get too much
         D         A/C#   Bm  D/F#  G   G/A
You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm
                 D
But you stand by me
