INTRO: [D#] [G#] [D#] ^[G#] ^[D#]

CHORUS:
[D#] Heartaches by the number [G#] troubles by the score
[A#] Everyday you love me less each day I love you [D#] more [D# open]

[D#] Heartache number one was when you [G#] left me
I [A#] never knew that I'd could hurt this [D#] way

VERSE 2:
[D#] Heartache number three was when you [G#] called me
And [A#] said that you was coming back to [D#] stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your [G#] knock on the door
I [A#] waited but you must have lost your [D#] way [D# open]
Yes, I've got...

REPEAT CHORUS: (ending: [D#] [G#] [D# open])
