Intro: C C2 C C2 C C2 C
[C2]He left me c[C]ryin' late o[C2]ne Sunday ni[C]ght ou[C2]tside of Bou[C]lder[C2][C]
[C2]He said he h[C]ad to f[C2]ind him[C]self ou[C2]t on the r[G]oad
I guess when lo[F]ve goes wr[G]ong
You gotta lea[F]rn to be str[G]ong
So, I wo[F]rked two j[C]obs
And I mo[F]ved three ti[C]mes[F]
I en[C]ded up so[F]uth of Mem[C]phis
Wo[F]rkin' down in Rivers[G]ide
I may not b[F]e so lucky in l[G]ove
But, the o[F]ne thing I'm sure of
CHORUS:
I[F] want a man to stand bes[C]ide me
[F]Not in front of, or be[C]hind me
Gi[F]ve me two arms that want to h[C]old me[F]
Not o[C]wn [Am]me
And I'll gi[F]ve all the love in my h[G]eart
Stand bes[C]ide me[F]
B[F]e true, don't tell l[C]ies to me
[F]I'm not looking for a fa[C]ntasy
I wa[F]nt a man to stand be[C]side me
[C2]I didn't exp[C]ect to see h[C2]im one hot J[C]uly mo[C2]rning[C][C2][C]
[C2]His hair was[C] longer, but[C2] his eyes we[C]re the[C2] same old bl[G]ue
He said, "I've m[F]issed you for so l[G]ong...
Oh baby, w[F]hat can I do?"
I said...
CHORUS:
I[F] want a man to stand bes[C]ide me
[F]Not in front of, or be[C]hind me
Gi[F]ve me two arms that want to h[C]old m[F]e
N[C]ot own [Am]me
And I'll gi[F]ve all the love in my h[C-]eart
BRIDGE:
Oh, it's hard to t[G]ell [Am]him no when I w[F]ant him so bad
But, I've g[G]ot to be t[Am]rue to my he[F]art this t[G]ime...
[F]I'm not looking for a fa[C]ntasy
I want a man to stand beside me
I want a man to stand beside me
Stand beside me
Stand beside me
