  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

  

  Coda:
