Stand Your Guard Chorus: D /E /D C G Oh darlin' hold on take it another step further along D /E /D C G Rest assured when your life is through you gave your heart all it's due Em D Right now it seems so far away Em D But I could never stop believing G F#m The hope within me is alive today Em Bm I'll stick around I ain't leavin' Em D I know it's hard to be misunderstood Em D And I'm glad you read between the lines G F#m I've tried to be the best friend that I could Em Bm A Ain't no more cause for passin' time Chorus Maybe I ain't got the golden touch The kind that's music to your ear What gain would I have not much For the words you wanna hear Keep your distance now and stand your guard Though I never meant to threaten you You've played your hand I've seen your cards What happens now is up to you Chorus (solos over D and Dsus4) by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
