(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOUR TOPS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
