He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder 
C5          C5      C5     C5      C5        G5         
He said he had to find himself out on the road 
               F5         G5 
I guess when love goes wrong 
             F5           G5 
You gotta learn to be strong 
        F5         C5 
So, I worked two jobs 
        F5           C5   F5 
And I moved three times 
    C5        F5         C5 
I ended up south of Memphis 
  F5                   G5       
Workin' down in Riverside 
           F5              G5 
I may not be so lucky in love 
          F5 
But, the one thing I'm sure of 
 
CHORUS: 
 F5                       C5  
I want a man to stand beside me 
F5                     C5 
Not in front of, or behind me 
  F5                            C5      F5 
Give me two arms that want to hold me 
     C5  A5 
Not own me 
           F5                      G5 
And I'll give all the love in my heart 
         C5        F5 
Stand beside me 
 F5                   C5 
Be true, don't tell lies to me 
F5                       C5 
I'm not looking for a fantasy 
    F5                   C5 
I want a man to stand beside me 
 

C5          C5           C5          C5     C5          C5     C5  C5 
I didn't expect to see him one hot July morning 
C5          C5           C5          C5     C5          G5 
His hair was longer, but his eyes were the same old blue 
                F5                 G5 
He said, "I've missed you for so long... 
          F5 
Oh baby, what can I do?" 
 
I said... 
 
CHORUS: 
 F5                       C5  
I want a man to stand beside me 
F5                     C5       
Not in front of, or behind me 
  F5                            C5    F5 
Give me two arms that want to hold me 
 C5      A5 
Not own me 
           F5                      C- 
And I'll give all the love in my heart 
 
BRIDGE: 
                  G5   A5             F5 
Oh, it's hard to tell him no when I want him so bad 
           G5         A5          F5         G5  
But, I've got to be true to my heart this time... 
 

F5                       C5 
I'm not looking for a fantasy 
 
I want a man to stand beside me 
 
I want a man to stand beside me 
 
Stand beside me 
 
Stand beside me
