Version 2
Standing In The Shadows Of Love:
The Four Tops:
#1 in '66.
Capo 1
[Intro]
Am Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,
Fmaj7 E E7
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come,
Am Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
Fmaj7 E E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
[Verse 1]
F Gm C
I'd run but there's nowhere to go,
F Gm C
Cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
F Gm C
Without your love, the love I need,
F Gm C
It's the beginning of the end for me.
Dsus4 Dm
Cause you've taken away all me reasons for livin’
A Bm7
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.
Now wait a minute...
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
Am Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,
Fmaj7 E E7
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come,
Am Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
Fmaj7 E E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
[Verse 2]
F Gm C
All alone I'll desperately be,
F Gm C
with misery my only company,
F Gm C
It might come today, in fact, come tomorrow,
F Gm C
But for sure I ain't got nothin' but sorrow.
Dsus4 Dm
Don't your conscience bother you?
A Bm7
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute...
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I?
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I?
[Chorus]
Am Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,
Fmaj 7 E E7
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come,
I'm trying not to cry out loud,
F Gm C
you know cryin' ain't gonna help me now.
Dsus 4 Dm
What did I do to cause all this grief?
A Bm7
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave?
Now wait a minute...
[Outro]
Am Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,
Fmaj7 E E7
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come,
Am Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
Fmaj7 E E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
