I Can`t Stand Up For Falling Down
(Elvis Costello form the Album Get Happy! - Words and Music by H. Banks &
A. Jones)
Transcribed by D. W. Bennett
C Am
I`m the living result
F G
I`m a man who`s been hurt a little too much
C E7 Am F
and I`ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
C E7 Am F
sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
C F C F
I can`t stand up for falling down
C F C F
I can`t stand up for falling down
simple though love is
still it confused me
why I`m not loved the way I should be
now I`ve lived with heartaches
and I`ve roomed with fear
I`ve dealt with despair
and I`ve wrestled with tears
I can`t stand up for falling down
I can`t stand up for falling down
F Fm
the vow that we made
C Bb C
you broke it in two
F Fm G
but that don`t stop me from loving you
I can`t stand up for falling down
I can`t stand up for falling down
