The Four Tops: #1 in '66. [Intro]
Am                          Am/G
[tab]            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come,

                 Am                         Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
[Verse 1]
     F                Gm       C
I'd run but there's nowhere to go,

      F                   Gm        C
Cause heartaches will follow me, I know.

             F         Gm     C
Without your love, the love I need,

              F           Gm      C
It's the beginning of the end for me.

Dsus4                   Dm
Cause you've taken away    all me reasons for livin'

         A                                   Bm7
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.
Now wait a minute... [Pre-Chorus]
Am
Didn't I teach 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...(plus) [Chorus]
Am                          Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,

            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come,

                 Am                         Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
[Verse 2]
     F                Gm   C 
All alone I'll desperately be, 

         F       Gm     C    
with misery my only company,

              F               Gm        C
It might come today, in fact, come tomorrow,

        F                   Gm           C
But for sure I ain't got nothin' but sorrow.

Dsus4                 Dm
Don't your conscience bother you?

            A                                    Bm7
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute... [Pre-Chorus]
Am
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I? 
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I? [Chorus]
Am                          Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,

            Fmaj 7                       E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come,
I'm trying not to cry out loud,
         F                  Gm       C
you know cryin' ain't gonna help me now.

Dsus 4                          Dm
What did I do to cause all this grief?

    A                                  Bm7
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave?
Now wait a minute... [Outro]
Am                          Am/G
Standing in the shadows of love,

            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come,

                 Am                         Am/G
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

            Fmaj7                        E   E7
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
