b                                                    f#
with an empty heart and a dollar ten

i'm standing at the crossroads again

b
well i woke up this morning like i usually do
      f#
my baby wasn't no where around 
f#
i looked in the kitchen and i looked in the hall
          b
in my slippers and dressing gown
b
when i heard the  (unintelligible)     no where around
e
i guess i think she don't love me no more
   f#
i guess i'm not the man she's looking for
f#                               b
i'm just the man she found

chorus

here i am on my own again
where did i go wrong this time
i treat her good like a gentlemen should
and never ever step out of line
well i'm no kid - i know my way around
6 feet 3 and weigh 200 pounds
but i can't hold no romance down
maybe i should give up trying

i'm a stand - chorus
