Standing In The Shadows Of Love
(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
Chorus 1:
Bbm Bbm/Ab
Standing in the shadows of love
Gbmaj7 F7sus4 F7
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come, can`t you see me
Bbm Bbm/Ab
Standing in the shadows of love
Gbmaj7 F7sus4 F7
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come
Verse 1:
Gb Abm7 Db
I want to run but there`s nowhere to go
Gb Abm7 Db
`Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Gb Abm7 Db
Without your love, the love I need
Gb Abm7 Db
It`s the beginning of the end for me
Ebsus4 Ebm
`Cause you`ve taken away all my reasons for living
Bb Cbdim
When you pushed aside all the love I`ve been giving
Bbm [N.C.; congas continue]
Didn`t I treat 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
Chorus 2:
Standing in the shadows of love
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come, don`t you see me
Standing in the shadows of love
Tryin` my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Verse 2:
All alone my destiny
With misery my only company
It may come today, it might come tomorrow
But it`s for sure I ain`t got nothing but sorrow
Now don`t your conscience try to bother you?
How can you watch me cry after all I`ve done for you?
Now hold on a minute
Gave you all the love I had, now, didn`t I?
When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn`t I?
Verse 3:
(Standing in the shadows of love)
(Gettin` ready for the heartaches to come)
I`m tryin` not to cry out loud
You know cryin`, it ain`t gonna help me now
What did I do to cause all this grief
Now what did I say to make you want to leave
Now wait a minute
Gave my heart and soul to you, now didn`t I?
And didn`t I always treat you good, now, didn`t I?
Chorus 3:
I`m standing in the shadows of love
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come, don`t you see me
Standing in the shadows of love
Tryin` my best to get ready for the heartaches to come, oh, I`m
