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
