Bernadette
Tom: D
 
    D ~ ~    D             C
1.           Bernadette,     people are searching for
Bb                         A          -  C
    the kind of love that we possess.
      D                 C
    Some go on,     searching their whole life through,
Bb                                    A                   ~
    and never find the love I found in you.
 
F            Dm                   Gm                  C
    And when I speak of you, I see envy in other men's eyes.
F       Dm                 Gm              - C
    And I'm well aware, of what's on their mind.
Gm              F                             C
    They pretend to be my friend, when all the time (sweet Bernadette)
Gm          F                         C
    they long to persuade you from my side (sweet Bernadette).
          Gm                        Am
    They'd give the world and all they own
          C          
    for just one moment we have known.
       D      C                    Bb               A          - C
2. Bernadette,   they want you because    of the pride that it gives.
        D         C                      Bb                 A     ~
    But Bernadette,    I want you because      I need you to live.
 
F            Dm   Gm      C
    But while I live  only to hold you,
F           Dm           Gm             C
    some other men, they long to control you.
Gm                     F            C
    But how can they control you, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette),
       Gm                    F                        C
    when they cannot control themselves, Bernadette (sweet B),
       Gm                Am              C                        
    from wanting you, needing you,     but  darling, you belong (to me)
 
       D        C                 Bb               A            - C
3. Bernadette, I tell the world, you belong to me, I tell the world.
       D                            C
    You're the soul of me, I tell the world,
         Bb                    A        ~
    you're a part of me, Bernadette  !
 
     F           Bb                             Dm                   
    In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind 
                           A      -  Bb
    the world is searching for.
        F                    Bb                           Dm
    But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine has always
                 A
    been longing for.
 
F         Dm            Gm                  C
    In you I have what other men are longing for,
F        Dm                Gm              C
    all men need someone to worship and adore.
Gm              F                  C
    That's why I treasure you and place you high above,
Gm       F             C         Gm         Am              C
   for the only joy in life is to be loved,     so whatever you do, Bernad.,
 
         D              C                  Bb               A
4. Keep on lovin' me, Bernadette, keep on needin' me,  Bernadette,
    ~ ~ ~ - - - -  D                   C
             Bernadette ! !     Bernadette, you're the soul of me, 
            Bb                A           - C
    more than a dream, you're clear to me.
         D                          C
    And Bernadette, you mean more to me, 
         Bb                    A
    than a woman was ever meant to be .....

F            G               F                         G

Standing in the shadows of love
Tom: Am
                     
  Am                       G
Standing in the shadows of love,

I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come, 
       Am                                   G
can't you see me, standing in the shadows of love
         F                           E
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
 
      F                            C
1. I want to run but there's nowhere to go,
         F                            C
    'cause heartaches will follow me, I know.
        F                     C
    Without your love, the love I need
        F                      C
    it's the beginning of the end for me.
      Dm
    'Cause you've taken away all my reasons for living,
        A                                      A7
    when you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.

2. All alone, my destiny, with misery  my only company.
                F                    C
    It may come today, it might come tomorrow,
         F                                    C
    but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow.
 
Dm
    Now don't your conscience try to bother you?
            A                                 A7
    How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
 
    Now hold on a minute !
 
     Am
    Gave you all the love I had, now, didn't I?
 
    When you needed me I was always there, now, wasn't I?
 
       F                     C
3. Standing in the shadows of love, 
     F                              C
    gettin' ready for the heartaches to come,
         F                   C
    I'm tryin' not to cry out loud,
         F                              C
    you know cryin', it ain't gonna help me now.
 
       Dm
    What did I do to cause all this grief,
      A                                    A7
    now what did I say to make you want to leave.
    
    Now wait a minute !
     Am
    Gave my heart and soul to you, now didn't I?
 
    And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?

         Dm                             F             - G
    but everytime I see you face, I get all choked up inside.
 
        C
   When I call your name, girl it starts the flame burning in my heart,
 
    tearin' it all apart, no matter how I try,  my love I cannot hide.

C              G              C                    A7
    from deep inside the pain     that I chose to hide.
 
G                  Em
    Just walk away Renee,
       C                G             D
    you won't see me follow you back home.
G          Em               C                  G-D-Em
    Now as the rain beats down upon my weary ey....es,
C        G Am  G
    for me it cries.
 
   G                 D           F               Am
3.   Your name and mine inside    a heart upon a wall,
C             G                 C                       A7
    still find a way to haunt me,     though they're so small.
