[Verse 1]
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Chorus]
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh
Stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh
Stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh
Stand by me
Oh, stand, now, stand by me
Stand by me
[Outro]
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, oh, stand
Stand by me

Bell:
We got an email from Rivers: ‘I wanna do 'Stand By Me,’ I know I can kill it. That’s all I needed to hear, it was done in a day. And it’s very Weezer, this 1-6-4-5 chord progression.
