it’s [Fig1]christmas again so we lit all the [Fig2]candles
and we [Fig1]tried to pretend that your room was a [Fig2]palace
but we [Fig1]can’t seem to shake of the fear
that nothing is [Fig2]different, that no-one has [Fig1]changed
nothing has [Fig2]changed
[C]i stand by my [G]lover as she stands by [D]me
[C]chained to my [G]lover as she’s chained to [D]me
we’ve [Fig1]been through the past and the pain
the love that was [Fig2]lost
and we [Fig1]know all the answers
we’ve taken our chances and [Fig2]let them drift by
its’ [Fig1]time to be free yeah it’s [Fig2]time to be free
[Fig1]standing s close i can’t [Fig2]see you at all
[C]i stand by my [G]lover as she stands by [D]me
[C]chained to my [G]lover as she’s chained to [D]me
but your [C]books don’t say much about
[G]living your life like a [D]thief
yeah we’re [C]handcuffed and chained
we play [G]games and play them out [D]slowly
[C]i stand by my [G]lover as she stands by [D]me
[C]chained to my [G]lover as she’s chained to [D]me
[C]i stand by my [G]lover as she stands by [D]me
[C]chained to my [G]lover as she’s chained to [D]me
