Tom: Am
Am G
Standing in the shadows of love,
F E
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come,
Am G
can't you see me, standing in the shadows of love
F E
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
F C
1. I want to run but there's nowhere to go,
F C
'cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
F C
Without your love, the love I need
F C
it's the beginning of the end for me.
Dm
'Cause you've taken away all my reasons for living,
A A7
when you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.
Am
Didn't I treat you right now, baby, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could, now, didn't I?
So don't you leave me ! + CHORUS
F C F C
2. All alone, my destiny, with misery my only company.
F C
It may come today, it might come tomorrow,
F C
but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow.
Dm
Now don't your conscience try to bother you?
A A7
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute !
Am
Gave you all the love I had, now, didn't I?
When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn't I?
F C
3. Standing in the shadows of love,
F C
gettin' ready for the heartaches to come,
F C
I'm tryin' not to cry out loud,
F C
you know cryin', it ain't gonna help me now.
Dm
What did I do to cause all this grief,
A A7
now what did I say to make you want to leave.
Now wait a minute !
Am
Gave my heart and soul to you, now didn't I?
And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?
+ CHORUS .....
