You've Got to Stand for Something Chords

(ver. 2)
Aaron Tippin
CAPO: 4th Fret


  
INTRO: C   F   C     G   C 
  

                                   G           C 
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
F              C                                         G 
Every one that knew him knew which side that he would be on
   F           C             F                C
He never was a hero, or this county's shining light
              Dm              F               G                   C 
But you could always find him standing up for what he thought was right


CHORUS:
                  C                                    F            C     
He'd say, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G      
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C   
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C 
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything


 
We might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If daddy had done more, given in, or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
What ever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight


CHORUS:
                  C                                    F            C     
He'd say, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G      
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C   
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C 
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything


BRIDGE 
  F                    C                   F               C 
I know that things are different than they were in daddy's day
      F                  C           F             G 
But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed


CHORUS:
                  C                                    F            C     
He'd say, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G      
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C   
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C 
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything


OUTRO: C   F   C     G   C
