The Pretenders


Tom: G

D   A   G

[Verse]
D            A (not positive about this)
Oh, why look so sad
             G
Tears are in your eyes
                    A - G (slide barred chord)
Come on and come to me now
D                   A
Don't be ashamed to cry
                G
Let me see you through
                       A - G
Cause i've seen the darkside too

[Bridge]
 C                   Em
When the night falls on you
 C              Em
Don't know what to do
             G
Nothing you confess
        A
Can make me love you less

[Chorus]
                   D               C
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
                        Am
Won't let nobody hurt you
                D
I'll stand by you

[Verse]
D                    A
So if you're mad get mad
                   G
Don't hold it all inside
                    A - G
Come on and talk to me now
D                   A
Hey what you got to hide
             G
I get angry too
            A - G
Well I'm alive like you

[Bridge]
Em                              C
When you're standing at the crossroads
Em                      C
Don't know which path to choose
              G
Let me come along
                A
Cause even if you're wrong

[Chorus] (same)

[Bridge]
C                       Em
And when when the night falls on you baby
        G
You're feeling all alone
        A
Won't on your own
