By My Side

Em D C D Em

[Verse 1]
Em
So here I stand
D               C
Under the stars and
C
I'm dreaming again

D                   Em
What a journey it's been
D
Where I am now
C
And where I was then

D             Em
I often think about
D
This life we have
C
The friends we've made

C
And the days of past
D       Em
And I'm grateful
D             C                 D
Grateful that I have a story to tell

[Pre-Chorus]
   Am
So I give love
G       D
Because there was a time when I had none
    Am
And I give thanks
G       D                                    Am         G
Because now I know that's the only way to be living free
D
Free from negativity
Am                   G
And the hardships we face
D
Got to keep that forward pace

[Chorus]
Em           D
Oh no matter where I go
C
One thing I know, yes
        D     Em
Love is by my side
Em             D
Don't fight it again
C               D
Don't fight it, yeah
Em           D
Oh no matter where you go
C                                            D
Look at what can happen when you go with the flow
Em              D
Love is by your side
C              D    Em
Don't fight it again


[Verse 2]
Em                   D
So don't you wait in vain
C
For the things that you cannot change
D    Em              D
Some things stay the same
C                                 D
And yes they are meant to be that way
Em
So don't you worry
D
Don't you stress
C                        D
It ain't gonna help your happiness
Em      D
Just be grateful
C                           D
Grateful for this breath of life

[Pre-Chorus]

So I give love
G       D
Because there was a time when I had none
    Am
And I give thanks
G       D                                    Am         G
Because now I know that's the only way to be living free
D
Free from negativity
Am                   G
And the hardships we face
