D A A D A A 
You say you stand by your man 
D A A D A A 
Tell me something I don't understand 
D Bm 
You said you loved me, and that's a fact 
D A A D A A 
The you left me, said you felt trapped 
D A 
Well, some things you can't explain away 
Bm D 
But the heartache's with me till this day 

D A A 
You didn't stand by me 
D A A 
No, not at all 
D A A 
You didn't stand by me 
D A A 
No way 


All the times when we were close 
I'll remember these things the most 
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down 
I can't be happy without you around 
So alone, I keep the wolves at bay 
And there's only one thing I can say 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge:] 
A F#m Bm D A A D A A 
You must expla-a-a-ain why this must be 
A F#m Bm D A A D A A 
Did you li-i-i-ie when you spoke to me? 
D A A D A A 
Did you stand be me? No, not at all 


Now I got a job, but it don't pay 
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay 
But without all of these things I can do 
But without your love, I won't make it through 
But you don't understand my point of view 
I suppose there nothing I can do 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge]
