1. You say you stand                by your man,

                  G       C    - G                       G     - C - G

    tell me something        I don't understand.

                           C                              Am

    You said you love me and that's a fact,

                    G          - C                        G          - C - G

    then you left me,         said, you felt trapped.

                          C                                   G

    Well, some things you can explain away,

                  Am                                        C

    but the heartache's in me still these days.

 

                                 G    - C - G                     G    - C - G

You didn't stand by me,                not, not at all,

                                G     - C - G          G    - C - G

you didn't stand by me,                no way.

 

                G       - C - G                           G      - C - G

2. All the times              when we were close,

               G       - C - G                              G    - C - G

    I'll remember            these things the most.

                    C                                             Am

    I've seen all my dreams come tumbling down,

                       G       - C - G                         G       - C - G

    I won't be happy               without you around.

             C                                      G

    So alone I keep the wolves at bay,

                        Am                     C

    and there is only thing I can say.

 

                                 G    - C - G                     G    - C - G

You didn't stand by me,                not, not at all,

                                G     - C - G          G    - C - G

you didn't stand by me,                no way.

 

                          Em - Am                         G     - C - G - C - G

    You must expl.........ain why this must be !

                 Em - Am                                  G      - C - G - C - G

    Did you l...........ie when you spoke to me ?

                                 G    - C - G                  G    - C - G

    Did you stand by me ?            No not at all !

3. Now, I got a job                but it don't pay,

                         G       - C - G                                      G    - C - G

    I need new clothes,            I need somewhere to stay.

                  C                                        Am

    But without all of these things I can do,

                               G       - C - G                                G       - C - G

    but without your love                  I won't make it through.

            C                                                  G

    But you don't understand my point of view,

            Am                                     C

    I suppose there's nothing I can do.

 

                                 G    - C - G                     G    - C - G

You didn't stand by me,                not, not at all,

                                G     - C - G          G    - C - G

you didn't stand by me,                no way.
