[Intro]
E F#m B E F#m B
[Spoken]
E F#m B
Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
E F#m B
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
[Verse]
E F#m
Let him walk on out if he wants to
E F#m
He really doesn't deserve you
E F#m
His loss is our gain so don't be blue
E D
Cause stone blind and out of his mind
A
Is what he has to be, yeah
E D
So baby straighten up, come on and fly right
A
It's no catastrophe, yeah
B
And say now
[Chorus]
E F#m
Baby, baby don't cry
E G#m A
Baby, baby here's why-y
A G#m A
Love is here standing by
A G#m A
Love is here standing by
[Spoken]
E F#m
You trusted him and gave him your love
E F#m
A love he proved unworthy of
[Verse]
E F#m
Too bad it was him that you trusted
E F#m
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
E F#m
It's time that you got readjusted
E D
And realized that tear filled eyes
A
Can never stop him now
E
That man is on his way
D
I think he's gone to stay
A
You better drop him now, yeah
[Chorus]
E F#m
Baby, baby don't cry
E G#m A
Baby, baby here's why-y
A G#m A
Love is here standing by
A G#m A
Love is here standing by
[Bridge]
C#m
All you've gotta do is dry your eyes
C#m
Long enough to see
C#m
That you have got the love you thought you had in him
C#m
Here in me
C#m
Love is hope, love is strength
C#m
Here's someone standing right beside you
C#m
Who would go to any lengths to give you love
C#m
True and deep and help you realize at last you've found
F#m
A love that you can keep
G
And only losers weep
[Outro]
