I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down
(Elvis Costello form the Album «Get Happy!» — Words and Music by H. Banks &
A. Jones)
Transcribed by D. W. Bennett
C Am
I’m the living result
F G
I’m a man who’s been hurt a little too much
C E7 Am F
And I’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
C E7 Am F
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
C F C F
I can’t stand up for falling down
C F C F
I can’t stand up for falling down
Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I’m not loved the way I should be
Now I’ve lived with heartaches
And I’ve roomed with fear
I’ve dealt with despair
And I’ve wrestled with tears
I can’t stand up for falling down
I can’t stand up for falling down
F Fm
The vow that we made
C Bb C
You broke it in two
F Fm G
But that don’t stop me from loving you
I can’t stand up for falling down
I can’t stand up for falling down
