Tom: A5
                     
  A5                       G5
Standing in the shadows of love,
    F5                                E5
I&#039;m gettin&#039; ready for the heartaches to come, 
       A5                                   G5
can&#039;t you see me, standing in the shadows of love
         F5                           E5
I&#039;m gettin&#039; ready for the heartaches to come.
 

      F5                            C5
1. I want to run but there&#039;s nowhere to go,
         F5                            C5
    &#039;cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
        F5                     C5
    Without your love, the love I need
        F5                      C5
    it&#039;s the beginning of the end for me.
      D5
    &#039;Cause you&#039;ve taken away all my reasons for living,
        A5                                      A5
    when you pushed aside all the love I&#039;ve been giving.
 

     A5
    Didn&#039;t I treat you right now, baby, didn&#039;t I?
 
    Didn&#039;t I do the best I could, now, didn&#039;t I? 
 
    So don&#039;t you leave me !  + CHORUS 
 

     F5           C5            F5                C5
2. All alone, my destiny, with misery  my only company.
                F5                    C5
    It may come today, it might come tomorrow,
         F5                                    C5
    but it&#039;s for sure I ain&#039;t got nothing but sorrow.
 

D5
    Now don&#039;t your conscience try to bother you?
            A5                                 A5
    How can you watch me cry after all I&#039;ve done for you?
 
    Now hold on a minute !
 

     A5
    Gave you all the love I had, now, didn&#039;t I?
 
    When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn&#039;t I?
 

       F5                     C5
3. Standing in the shadows of love, 
     F5                              C5
    gettin&#039; ready for the heartaches to come,
         F5                   C5
    I&#039;m tryin&#039; not to cry out loud,
         F5                              C5
    you know cryin&#039;, it ain&#039;t gonna help me now.
 

       D5
    What did I do to cause all this grief,
      A5                                    A5
    now what did I say to make you want to leave.
    
    Now wait a minute !
     A5
    Gave my heart and soul to you, now didn&#039;t I?
 
    And didn&#039;t I always treat you good, now, didn&#039;t I?
