Capo 4
(Intro)
[C] [E7] [Am] [E7] [F] [F] [D7] [E7]
(Verse 1)
[C] Now, [E7] just now [Am] I know that [E7] I'm happy
[F] Because you're here with [D7] me [E7]
[C] You, [E7] just you [Am] is what I really [E7] need
[F] And all the other thought means [D7] nothing to [E7] me
[Am]'Love' is the [G] word I [F] really [C] need
[Am] Because all the other [G] words mean [F] nothing to [C] me
[Am]'Love' is the [G] word I [F] really [C] need
[Am] Because all the other [G] words just [F] make me tell [G] lies [E7]
(Chorus)
By my side [Am] , by my side [F] , by my side [G] [C] ,
Stay by my side [Am] , by my side [F] , [G] Ooohoo [C]
By my side [Am] , by my side [F] , by my side [G] [C] ,
Stay by my side [Am] , by my side [F] , [G] Ooohoo [C]
[E7] [Am] [E7] [F] [F] [D7] [E7]
(Verse 2)
[C] Now, [E7] just now [Am] I know that [E7] I'm lonely
[F] Coz you're away from me [D7] [E7]
[C] You, about you [E7], about me [Am] is about you [E7]
And [F] I'll repeat the [E7] same verses over [Am]
and over and over [D7] again until [F] you're [G] back to [C] me
Oh [Am]'Love' is the [G] word I [F] really [C] need
So [Am] all of these [G] affections need a [F] place where to [C] go
[Am]'Love' is the [G] word I [F] really [C] need
So [Am] please will you come [G] back and [F] kiss on my cheek[G] [E7]
(Chorus)
By my side [Am] , by my side [F] , by my side [G] [C] ,
Stay by my side [Am] , by my side [F] , [G] Ooohoo [C]
By my side [Am] , by my side [F] , by my side [G] [C] ,
Stay by my side [Am] , by my side [F] , [G] Ooohoo [C]
(Bridge)
[Dm] Nagare ruru [F] ishi o motte [G]
[Dm] Ugokanu [F] imi wo koe [G]
Boku ni [Dm] wa futatsu [C] shinzo [A#] ga aru [G]
Kimi o [Dm] omou to [C] ugokidasu [E7] no ga
By my side [Am] , by my side [F] , by my side [G] [C] ,
Stay by my side [Am] , by my side [F] , [G] Ooohoo [C]
(Chorus)
By my side [Bm] , by my side [G] , by my side [A] [D],
Stay by my side [Bm] , by my side [G] , Ooohoo [A] [D]
By my side [Bm] , by my side [G] , by my side [A] [D],
Stay by my side [Bm] , by my side [G]...Ooohoo [A] [D]
You told [Bm] me that you're mine [G] and you always kissed [A] me instead of 'Hi' [D]
But this [Bm] doesn't mean that [G] I'm head over toes [A] in with you [D], whatever
You [Bm] used to beg me [G] hug and you [A] used to play me tricks [D]
And all those [Bm] hugs and tricks we [G] shared
is now what we [A] call a broken dreams [D]
I hate [Bm] myself when my [G] brain [A] tells me that I'm [D] lying
Everything [Bm] we went [G] through was just a [A] waste of a time [D]
So I'm [Bm] writing this for [G] you and I'm [A] writing this for [D]me
Within [Bm] full of thanks and tears [G],
And a pair of ring [A] full of "I love you" [D]
This song [Bm] will almost end [G] but that [A] doesn't mean us [D] too
Well, [Bm] just in case someday [G] you come to me [A] and says 'Hi' [D]
