Aaron Tippin - Got To Stand For Something


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: C majorC  FF  C majorC   G+G  C majorC


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

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


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


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