By my side (video)

C - F - C - F

Am Em - F C

1. It’s all right, I’m not lost, I’ve got a reading on the Southern Cross,

Dm Am G

and I’ve been listening to the radio for signs of new life.

E - Am Em

Some people find the game too tough,

F C

and there are those who’ve simply had enough,

Dm Am G

but I’m still here and I’m not giving up, I’m going the distance.

F G

Whatever it takes, I have to fight,

F G

to build a better world and make it right,

F G

and when I am alone, it’s late at night,

F G

I reach out and you’re right here.

C F Dm

By my side, when everything has gone, you help me carry on.

C G C F

You lift me up, you make me strong, you give love to see me through,

Dm G F - G C

ooh ooh, what would I do without you by my side,

F C F

ooh ooh, by my side, ooh ooh.

Am Em - F C

2. And out here on the flight, I’m on a wing and a prayer tonight,

Dm Am G

the moon is showing me the way to go, I’m flying forever.

F G

I’ve got what it takes to win the fight,

F G

and build a better world and make it right.

F G

But when I am alone, it’s late at night,

F G

I reach out and you’re here.

C F Dm

Right by my side, when everything has gone, you help me carry on,

C G C F

you lift me up, you make me strong, you give love to see me through,

Dm G F - G C

ooh ooh, what would I do without you by my side.

C - F F Bb C

Always you’re in my heart, always by my side,

- F G C

always you’re in my life, always right here tonight !

C - Dm G

Always you’re in my world, always I think what would I do,

F G C

without you, without you, by my side.
