"Standing In The Shadows Of Love" (Holland - Dozier - Holland) Chorus 1: / Standing in the shadows of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come, can't you see me / Standing in the shadows of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come Verse 1: I want to run but there's nowhere to go 'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know Without your love, the love I need It's the beginning of the end for me 'Cause you've taken away all my reasons for living 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: / Standing in the shadows of love [fade] -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
