C                                 F
Heartache number one was when you left me
  G7                                  C
I never knew that I'd could hurt this way
                                      F
And heartache number two was when you came back again
G7                               C
You came back and never meant to stay
 
                                      F
Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score 
G7                                            C
Everyday you love me less each day I love you more
                                        F
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
        G7
But the day that I stop counting 
                             C
that's the day my world will end
 
                                    F
Heartache number three was when you called me
    G7                                C
And said that you were coming back to stay
 
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
 G7                                  C
I waited but you must have lost your way
