(intro/refrão)

Am                         G
Standing in the shadows of love,
F                             E
Waitin' for the heartaches to come,
                   Am                         G
Can't you see me.. standing in the shadows of love?
            F                           E
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.

    F                           C
I'd run but there's no where to go,
      F                            C
Cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
             F                C
Without your love, the love I need,
         F                        C
It's the beginning of the end for me.
Dm
Cause you've taken away all me reasons for living,
         A                                   A7
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.
Now wait a minute...

Am
Didn't I teach 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...(plus)

(intro/refrão)

F                          C        F              C
All alone I'll desperately be, with misery my only company,
              F                        C
It might come today, in fact, come to..morrow,
        F                            C
But for sure I ain't got nothin' but sorrow.
Dm
Don't your conscience bother you?
            A                                    A7
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?

Now hold on a minute...
Am
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I?
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I?

F                           C
Standing in the shadows of love.
        F                           C
Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
          F              C
I'm tring not to cry out loud,
         F                          C
you know cryin' ain't gonna help me now.
           Dm
What did I do to cause all this grief?
    A                                A7
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave?
Now wait a minute...

(refrão)
Am
I gave my heart and soul to you, now didn't I?

And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?
Am                             G
I'm standing in the shadows of love.
            F                           E
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
                  Am                         G
Hope to see you.. standing in the shadows of love.
                        F                           E
Trying your best to get ready for the heartaches to come.
Am                         G
Standing in the shadows of love...
