[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
I would travel the world
And bring you back diamonds
Am
Stories of pain, of hope and of triumph
G
Cheat death to show you what I’m made of
Am
I would do all of this just to prove my love
C
If life was a game I’d win for you
Am
In a world of lies, I’d be your truth
G
I would wait forever, I would suffer too
Am
I would do all of this and even more for you
[Chorus]
Am
But you say:
C F
“Sit down look me in the eyes…
Am G F
Don’t write my name in the sky…
C F
The only thing that you have to do…
Am G F
Is stay with me and I’ll stand by you
Dm G Am
Stay by me and I’ll stay with you
[Verse 2]
C
You’re making it sound too easy
Am
Love is a fight not a treaty
G
If I let down the guard will I feel the same?
Am
Shouldn’t this be harder, no pain no gain?
[Chorus]
Am
But you say:
C F
“Sit down look me in the eyes…
Am G F
I don’t want my name up in the sky…
C F
The only thing that you have to do…
Am G F
Is stay with me and I’ll stand by you
Dm G C
Stand by me and I’ll stay with you
[Bridge]
C F
Maybe you’re right
C G
And the day is just as long as the night
Am F
So promises made
C G
Are the chains of love no one can break
Am F
Bad weather will come
C G
Wicked rain will beat on our hearts like a drum
Am F
But faith is our cover
C G F G
Let no one destroy what our Lord brought together
[Chorus]
G
And you say:
C F
“Sit down look me in the eyes…
Am G F
Don’t write my name in the sky…
C F
The only thing that you have to do…
Am G F Dm G
Is stay with me and I’ll stay with you
G
And I say:
C F
Sit down look me in the eyes…
Am G F
Don’t write my name in the sky…
C F
The only thing that you have to do…
Am G F
Is stay with me and I’ll stand by you
Dm G Am
Stand by me and I’ll stay with you
[Outro]
