HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER (Listen to midi)    (sample)

 

   D                         D7            G

Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score,

 A                                                    A7                     D

every day you love me less, each day I love you more.

                       D                         D7             G

Yes, I’ve got heartaches by the number, a love that I can’t win,

              A                                                      A7                        D

but the day that I’ll stop counting, that’s the day my world will end.

 

        D                         D7                          G

1. Heartache number one was when you left me,

        A                     A7                         D

    I never knew that I could hurt that way,

                                          D7                           G

    and heartache number two was when you came back again,

      A                             A7                     D    - A

    you came back and never meant to stay.

             A7

    Now I’ve got….  + CHORUS

 

       D                           D7                            G

2. Heartache number three was when you called me,

             A                           A7                      D

    and said that you were coming back to stay.

                                      D7                    G

    With hopeful heart I waited for the knock on the door,

         A                      A7                            D     - A

    I waited, but you must have lost your way.

          A7

    So I’ve got…. + CHORUS
