1. A heartache for a keepsake, what a tragic souvenir,

           G                                                        G7                    C

    now I know how it feels when peoples’ dreams all disappear.

                                                               F

    I'm looking out my window watching her just walk away,

         G                                             G7                         C

    a heartache for a keepsake, it became mine just today.

 

         G                                                  C

2. A picture fades with time but will a heartache do the same ?

        D                                                 D7                          G

    Years from now will I still wake up nights and call her name ?

               C                                               F

    Oh, it hurts to love somebody and to see her walk away,

          G                                            G7                         C

    a heartache for a keepsake, it became mine just today.
