Youre Old Standby

D7 | D7 | G | G

[Verse 1]
G
A shoulder to cry on
   C                 G
Is all you want from me
    D7                                    G
Someone to share your heartaches when you cry
G
Someone you can depend on
         C          G
who will always be around
    D7                                   G  G7
I'm nothing more than just your old standby

[Chorus]
   C
If you could call me darling

If you could call me dear
   A7                                D  D7
If you could learn to love me by and by
  G
I wouldn't mind this waiting
    C                 G
For I could stand the pain
       D                                   G
I'd be more to you than just your old standby

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
G
You wouldn't call me darling
        C                G
and you wouldn't call me dear
  D                               G
I wonder if you'll miss me when I die
G
You have no consideration
        C             G
And you show no sympathy
    D                                    G
I'm nothing more than just your old standby

[Chorus]
   C
If you would call me darling

If you would call me dear
   A7                                D  D7
If you could learn to love me by and by
  G
I wouldn't mind this waiting
    C                 G
For I could stand the pain
       D                                      G   G
I'd be something more than just your old standby
