It's a heart-ache,
  4  -4   5  -5  6    6
Noth-in' but a heart-ache,
 -6   6  -5    5   -5   -5
Hits you when it's too late,
 -5   5   -4   4      5  -5  5 -4
Hits you when you're dow-ow-ow-own,

It's a fools game,
Noth-in' but a fools game,
Stand-in' in the cold rain,
Feel-in' like a clow-ow-ow-own.

It's a heart-ache,
Noth-in' but a heart-ache,
Love her till your arms break,
Then she lets you dow-ow-ow-own.

 5  5    -5    -5   -5   4   6
It aint right with love to share,
  5   5   5    5    5  -4   4     5  -4
When you find she does'-nt care, for you,
  5  5   4   4
It's a heart-ache!
