I'VE STOOD WHERE YOU'RE STANDING

Composed by Simon Black

(G)I've (C)stood where you're (G)standing(C),
Yes, I've (G)walked up(C)on the same (G)ground.
(C)And (G)I've thought that
(C)Same thought you're (G)thinking(C),
And it (G)made me (C)wear the same (Em)frown(D).

And the (G)good times you (C)seem to be (G)having
(C)Well, I (G)dare say (C)I've had a (G)few.
(C)And the (G)bad times that
(C)Add a little (G)salt to your (C)coffee,
Well, (G)I can say I've (C)drunk the same (Em)brew(D).

Chorus:
From (D)California up to (Em)New York City,
(D)From New York City on (Em)up to Montreal,
(D)I've had the good times and (Em)I've had the bad times,
And (D)I've been waltzing at the (Em)ball(D),
(Em)I've been (D)waltzing at the (Em)ball(D)-(Em)-(D).

(G)I've (C)stood where you're (G)standing(C).
Yes, I've (G)walked in(C)side your (G)shoes(C).
(G)I hear you're (C)singing a (G)sad, sad (C)song.
Well (G)I've (C)sang those same (Em)blues(D).

In your (G)apartment you've (C)got a vision (G)hanging there
(C)Of a young (G)woman with (C)long pretty (G)hair.
(C)Well, (G)I've seen that (C)vision,
It's (G)been in my head (C)day and night.
(G)I went (C)looking, searching (Em)everywhere ... woa(D).

[Repeat Chorus]

(G)I've (C)stood where you're (G)standing
(C)In my (G)life I've had a (C)few days
Of (G)rain (C)shocking pain.
Every (G)day I smoked the (C)same kind of (G)cigarette-
Popped the (C)same pill,
Shot the (G)same stuff (C)into my (Em)vein(D).

Oh, but it (G)didn't make no (C)difference how (G)high
I got (C)or how (G)fast the blood (C)rushed through my (G)veins(C).
In my (G)life, I've (C)only got a (G)glimpse of (C)sunlight
But (G)nothing (C)ever stopped the (Em)rain(D).

(G)Then one (C)day I met a (G)man
(C)-(G)Carrying a (C)little black (G)book.
(C)He (G)pointed right (C)at me
And told me (G)Jesus was the (C)way
So I (G)went and I (C)followed him to (G)take a look(C).

He said (G)damn, (C)damn that old (G)system.
(C)That's what (G)Jesus did (C)all of His (G)life(C).
Re(G)ceive His love (C)take Him (G)in your (C)heart,
Follow (G)Him and become (C)part of His (Em)wife(D).

(Em)-(D) [Repeat first verse]

(D)Woa, then (G)Jesus came(C),
(G)Jesus (C)came and (G)wiped away (C)all my (G)tears.
(C)Yes, He did, (G)Jesus wiped (C)away (G)all my (C)tears.

(D)From California up to (Em)New York City-
I've (D)got no more remembrance (Em)of the pain-
(D)'Cause Jesus is the sunlight-
He's (Em)come into my heart.
And He's the, the (D)only thing
That ever (Em)stopped the (D)rain(Em).
It's no longer (D)raining in my (Em)life(D). (Em)-(D)-(Em)-(D)-(Em)-(D)

[Fade la-la-la]
