You've Got To Stand For Something Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Now Daddy didn't like trouble,
but [G]if it came [C]along
[F]Everyone that knew [C]him knew which
side that he'd [G]be on
He [F]never was a [C]hero,
or this [F]county's shinin' [C]light
But you could [Am]always find him [F]standing up
For [G]what he thought was [C]right

[Verse 2]
He'd say you've got to stand [C]for something
or you'll [F]fall for anything
[C]You've got to be your own man
not a puppet on [G]a string
Never com[F]promise what's [C]right
and up[F]hold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got t[Em]o stand [F]for something
or you'll [G]fall for any[C]thing
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
Now we might have been better off or
[G]owned a bigger [C]house
[F]If Daddy had done more [C]givin' in or
a little more backing [G]down
But we [F]always had [C]plenty just
[F]living his ad[C]vice
[Am]Whatever you do [F]today you'll
have [G]to sleep with to[C]night

[Verse 4]
He'd say you've [C]got to stand
for something or you'll [F]fall for anything
[C]You've got to be your own man
not a puppet on [G]a string
Never com[F]promise what's [C]right
and up[F]hold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got t[Em]o stand [F]for something
or you'll [G]fall for anything

[Verse 5]
[C]Now I kno[F]w that things are differ[C]ent
than they [F]were in Daddy's [C]days
But I [F]still believe what makes a man
really hasn't [G]changed
You've [C]got to stand for something

[Verse 6]
[C]
or you'll [F]fall for anything
[C]You've got to be your own man
not a puppet on [G]a string
Never com[F]promise what's [C]right
and up[F]hold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got t[Em]o stand [F]for something
or you'll [G]fall for any[Am]thing
You've [Dm]got to stand for something

[Verse 7]
[F]
or [G]you'll fall for anything

[Outro 1]
[C][G]
