  You say you stand     by your man
  Tell me something, I don't understand  fin: w/o /a

             D (r)        c♯       Bm (r)  /a
You said you loved me and that's a fact

  And then you left me, said you felt trapped  fin: w/o /a

          D (r)                     A (r)
Well some things you can't explain away
        Bm (r)                      D (r, pause)  /a
But the heart aches in me 'til this day-ay-ay

  You didn't stand by me, no not at all
  You didn't stand by me, no way
  All the times, when we were close
  I'll remember, these things the most

I see all my dreams come tumbling down

  I can't be happy, without you around

So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

  You didn't stand by me, no not at all
  You didn't stand by me, no way

               A F♯m Bm (r)      /a      DAA /a  DAA /a
    You must explaaain, why this must be
    Did you liiiie, when you spoke to me?

  Did you stand by me? No not at all
  Now I got a job, but it don't pay
  I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay

But without all of these things I can do

  But without your love, I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

  You didn't stand by me, no not at all
  You didn't stand by me, no way         x 2

    You must explaaain, why this must be     w/ a! a!  a!  a!  a!
    Did you liiiiiie, when you spoke to me?

  Did you stand by me?
