[D] So strange, [G] from platform one, we're leaving for three minutes,
but if you don't want to come, there's always a toilet.
All aboard!
[A]
Say you're sad, by your man.
Tell me something, I don't understand.
[D] Said you love, [Bm] now you're mad.
Made you [A] glad, mad, and felt sad.
[D] Well, some things you can't explain [A] away.
But [Bm] the heart aches with [F#m] each [D] new day.
And my knees, [A]
move while I ask.
And my knees, move with you.
Oh, it's as if, one moment, I remember, this day the most.
[D] I've seen all my dreams come to [A] a stand.
Darling, time is, about to end.
[D] The floor that keeps the walls [A] that bend.
And [Bm] there's only one thing [D] I can say.
Stand by me.
[A]
Lord, my love, stand by me.
Oh, yeah.
Stand by me.
Lord, my love, stand by me.
Oh, [D] [A] yeah.
You must be praying, [Em] [Bm] why this [A] must be.
[F#m]
[Bm] When you spoke [A] to me, just stand by me.
Lord, my love, stand by me.
Oh, yeah.
Now, I got time, but it don't pay.
I need the clothes, but it's the same.
[D] All these things [Bm] I can't do, about your [A] love,
won't make it through.
[D] You don't understand [A] my point, no good.
[B] It's the most I've been [D] after.
Stand by [A] me.
Lord, my love, stand by me.
Oh, yeah.
Stand by me.
Lord, my love, stand by me.
Oh, yeah.
You must be [F#m] [Bm] praying, why this must [A] be.
[C#m]
[A] When you [F#] spoke [Bm]
[D] to [A] me, just stand by me.
Lord, my love, stand by me. Lord.
