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:

	Bbm                       Bbm/Ab
	Standing in the shadows of love [fade]
