Aaron Tippin - Got To Stand For Something


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


 
                                 G              C 
We might have been better off or owned a bigger house
   F              C                                        G
If daddy had done more, given in, or a little more backing down
    F             C            F            C
But we always had plenty, just living his advice
    Dm            F                   G            C 
Whatever 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
