You've Got To Stand For Something

Intro.: E A E E B E

    E                              B           E
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
A             E                   E                 B
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on
   A           E            A                E
He never was a hero or this counties shining light
              F#m              A               B
But you could always find him standing up for what he
            E
thought was right

chorus
                E                                    A
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall
       E
for anything

       E                                        B
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      A                 E           A                E
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       F#m               A                   B
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for
  E
anything

Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house
if daddy'd done more given in or a little more backin down
but we always had plenty just to live in his advice
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight

(Repeat Chorus)

      A                    E
Now I know that things are different
         A               E
And they were in daddy's day
      A                  A
But I still believe what makes a man
A             B
Really hasn't changed

(Repeat Chorus)

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
