Intro G*

G                      C
Don't you get ahead of me
      D               G      G*
and I won't leave you behind
G            C
if you get unhappy
           D         G     G*
You got to show me a sign

G                    C
there's no love like lost love
           D                  G     G*
there's no pain like a broken heart
G                    C
there's no love like you and me
       D            G     G*
and no loss like us apart
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/ben_harper/by_my_side_live_crd.html ]
G        C
promises promise is
D      G    G*
only a word
G               C
and when softly spoken
D        G     G*
is never heard
G     C
and a heart
D        G     G*
is not a stone
G      C
and is fragile
   D            G     G*
so fragile when alone


CHORUS

G     D
by my side
Em    C
by my side
Am        C        D     G*
won't you be by my side
G     D
by my side
Em    C
by my side
Am        C        D    G*
won't you be by my side

BREAK (Verse x6)

G     C
Oh my care for you
D                         G      G*
is from the ground up to the sky
G               C
it's over under up above
D                     G    G*
down below and to the side
G                 C
there's no use in pretending
D                G    G*
no use in saving face
G          C
my love is never ending
D                 G     G*
you are my saving grace

CHORUS

G     D
by my side
Em    C
by my side
Am        C        D     G*
won't you be by my side
G     D
by my side
Em    C
by my side
Am        C        D    G*
won't you be by my side
Am        C        D    G*
won't you be by my side
Am        C        D    G**
won't you be by my side
