Where do you stand?
             Dm
Where do you stand?
                   Cm
Is that your brand? Bland?
             Gm    F
I don't understand you
             Bb
So afraid to offend
                        Dm
You can't be everyone's friend
               Cm
Because in the end
               Gm   F   Gm
They'll only demand you stand
                        Dm   F
There are men just like us
                Fm    Eb
Who are dying because
                       Ebdim  Bdim
They are men just like us

Where do you stand?
             Dm
Where do you stand?
                     Cm
You think your band's fans
Gm                 F
Need a line in the sand?
                   Bb
You're singin' for them
       Dm
At 45RPM
                          Cm
But you're scared they'll condemn them
Gm                     F
This can't be what you planned

    Gm
You stand
                  Dm     F
Up for what you believe
               Fm    Eb
And love you receive
                      Ebdim F
Outweighs those who believe you


[Verse]
          Bb
What's it about?
              Dm
The devoted devout
                  Cm
We could've found out

The doubt
Gm               F
Is just your motivation

                  Bb
Get down off that cross
                      Dm
Show the world who is boss
                       Cm
Lose the glitz and the gloss

The dross
Gm      F
In alienation


[Bridge]
Eb               F
If you stand for something
      Eb
I can surely guarantee
            F
It won't be easy
    Eb
The script that I would read
    Cm
The only certainty
        Gm        F
Is that you'll be loved
            Eb
For who you are
            F
At least by me

How long?
    Gm  Ab          Gm
Can you keep holding your breath
         Ab
When you know
        Am     Bb
Silence equals death
   Cm
Confess
        F
Who you are
                     Bb
Or who you might you be
                Dm
Oh where do you stand?
             Cm
Come on be a man

Stand for something
          Gm        F
Stand for something

Stand up for something
