      F (133211@1)            G (320003@1)I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much
C (x32010@1)      E7 (020130@1)       AmF
and I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
C (x32010@1)    E7 (020130@1)AmF
sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

C (x32010@1)     F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)      FI (133211@1)can't stand up for falling down
C (x32010@1)     F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)      FI (133211@1)can't
stand up for falling down

simple though love is
still it confused me
why
I'm not loved the way I should be
now I've lived with heartaches
and I've
roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
and I've wrestled with tears

I
can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down

FFm
the vow that we made
C (x32010@1)             Bb (x1333x@1)Cyou (x32010@1)broke it in two
FFm           Gbut (320003@1)that don't stop me from loving you

I can't stand up for
falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
