D               A             G  
There were times I wasn’t kind
D                   A         G
And there were times I wasn’t even around
D                   A              G
And there were times I made you cry
D            A            G
So many times I had to say goodbye
A                         G
When you want to talk I’m on the phone
        D                D7
But now baby, yeah, I am here for you alone

D         D7          G         A  
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
D         D7          G         A
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
              D     D7         G   A
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone     without a home

| D | A | G |


D                 A                    G
  There were times  I didn’t understand
D                     A           G     
  And there were times I wouldn’t hold your hand
A                G    
But baby now I’m here for you
       D              D7
‘Cause baby, yeah, I am so in love with you
