STAND BESIDE ME Jo Dee Messina
F C F C F C F
He left me crying late one Sunday night outside of Boul-der
C F G
He said he had to find him-self out on the road
F C
I guess when love goes wrong
F
You gotta learn to be strong
C F C
So I work two jobs and I moved three times
F C G
I ended up south of Memphis working down in River-side
F G
I may not be so lucky in love
F
But the one thing I'm sure of
CHORUS:
F C
I want a man that stands beside me
F C
Not in front of or behind me
F C G
Give me two arms that wanna hold me not own me
F
Then I'll give all the love in my heart
C
Stand beside me
F C
Be true Don't tell lies to me
F C
I'm not looking for a fantasy
G C
I wanna a man who stands beside me
F C F C F C F
I didn't expect to see him one hot July morn-ing
C F G
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
F G
He said I've missed you for so long
F
Oh baby what can I do? I said
Go to chorus
G F C
It's hard to tell him no when I want him so bad
G C F G C
But I've got to be true to my heart this time
Oh oh wo oh
F C
I'm not looking for a fantasy
F C
I wanna a man who stands beside me
F C
I wanna a man who stands beside me
F C F C F C
Stands beside me oh oh stands beside me oh oh oh
