🎶 By My Side

Capo 4
(Intro)
[A#] [E7] [Bb] [E7] [Em] [Em] [D7] [E7]
===

(Verse 1)
[A#] Now, [E7] just now [Bb] I know that [E7] I'm happy
[Em] Because you're here with [D7] me [E7]
[A#] You, [E7] just you [Bb] is what I really [E7] need
[Em] And all the other thought means [D7] nothing to [E7] me
[Bb]'Love' is the [Db] word I [Em] really [A#] need
[Bb] Because all the other [Db] words mean [Em] nothing to [A#] me
[Bb]'Love' is the [Db] word I [Em] really [A#] need
[Bb] Because all the other [Db] words just [Em] make me tell [Db] lies [E7]

(Chorus)
By my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , by my side [Db][A#] ,
Stay by my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , [Db] Ooohoo [A#]
By my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , by my side [Db][A#] ,
Stay by my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , [Db] Ooohoo [A#]


[E7] [Bb] [E7] [Em] [Em] [D7] [E7]

(Verse 2)
[A#] Now, [E7] just now [Bb] I know that [E7] I'm lonely
[Em] Coz you're away from me [D7][E7]
[A#] You, about you [E7], about me [Bb] is about you [E7]
And [Em] I'll repeat the [E7] same verses over [Bb] and over and over [D7] again until [Em] you're [Db] back to [A#] me
Oh [Bb]'Love' is the [Db] word I [Em] really [A#] need
So [Bb] all of these [Db] affections need a [Em] place where to [A#] go
[Bb]'Love' is the [Db] word I [Em] really [A#] need
So [Bb] please will you come [Db] back and [Em] kiss on my cheek[Db][E7]

(Chorus)
By my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , by my side [Db][A#] ,
Stay by my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , [Db] Ooohoo [A#]
By my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , by my side [Db][A#] ,
Stay by my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , [Db] Ooohoo [A#]

(Bridge)
[Eb] Nagare ruru [Em] ishi o motte [Db]
[Eb] Ugokanu [Em] imi wo koe [Db]
Boku ni [Eb] wa futatsu [A#] shinzo [D#m] ga aru [Db]
Kimi o [Eb] omou to [A#] ugokidasu [E7] no ga

By my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , by my side [Db][A#] ,
Stay by my side [Bb] , by my side [Em] , [Db] Ooohoo [A#]

(Chorus)
By my side [A#m] , by my side [Db] , by my side [Bbm][Cb],
Stay by my side [A#m] , by my side [Db] , Ooohoo [Bbm][Cb]
By my side [A#m] , by my side [Db] , by my side [Bbm][Cb],
Stay by my side [A#m] , by my side [Db]...Ooohoo [Bbm][Cb]

You told [A#m] me that you're mine [Db] and you always kissed [Bbm] me instead of 'Hi' [Cb]
But this [A#m] doesn't mean that [Db] I'm head over toes [Bbm] in with you [Cb], whatever
You [A#m] used to beg me [Db] hug and you [Bbm] used to play me tricks [Cb]
And all those [A#m] hugs and tricks we [Db] shared
is now what we [Bbm] call a broken dreams [Cb]
I hate [A#m] myself when my [Db] brain [Bbm] tells me that I'm [Cb] lying
Everything [A#m] we went [Db] through was just a [Bbm] waste of a time [Cb]
So I'm [A#m] writing this for [Db] you and I'm [Bbm] writing this for [Cb]me
Within [A#m] full of thanks and tears [Db],
And a pair of ring [Bbm] full of "I love you" [Cb]
This song [A#m] will almost end [Db] but that [Bbm] doesn't mean us [Cb] too
Well, [A#m] just in case someday [Db] you come to me [Bbm] and says 'Hi' [Cb]⠀
