Tom: A5
                     
  A5                       G5
Standing in the shadows of love,
    F5                                E5
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come, 
       A5                                   G5
can't you see me, standing in the shadows of love
         F5                           E5
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
 

      F5                            C5
1. I want to run but there's nowhere to go,
         F5                            C5
    'cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
        F5                     C5
    Without your love, the love I need
        F5                      C5
    it's the beginning of the end for me.
      D5
    'Cause you've taken away all my reasons for living,
        A5                                      A5
    when you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.
 

     A5
    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 
 

     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's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow.
 

D5
    Now don't your conscience try to bother you?
            A5                                 A5
    How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
 
    Now hold on a minute !
 

     A5
    Gave you all the love I had, now, didn't I?
 
    When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn't I?
 

       F5                     C5
3. Standing in the shadows of love, 
     F5                              C5
    gettin' ready for the heartaches to come,
         F5                   C5
    I'm tryin' not to cry out loud,
         F5                              C5
    you know cryin', it ain'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't I?
 
    And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?
