[Opening]
[Am] [Em] [F]
[Am]While this town is busy sleeping, [Em]all the noise has died away.
[Am]I walk the streets to stop my weeping, [Am]’cause she’ll never change her [Em]ways.

[section 2]
[F]Don’t fool yourself, [F]she was heartache from the [Em]moment that you met her.

[Am]Her love is a rose, pale and dying, [Em]dropping her petals in land unknown
[Am]All full of wine, the world before her, [Am]was sober with [Em]no place to go.

[chorus]
[F]Don’t fool yourself, [F]she was heartache from the [Em]moment that you met her.
[F]My heart is frozen still, [F]as I try to find the will to [C]forget her, somehow.

[section 4]
[Am] [Em]
[Am]Well my tears [Em]falling down [F]as I try [Am]to forget,
[Am]Her love was a [Em]joke from the [F]day that we [Am]met.
[Am]All of the [Em]words, [F]all of her [Am]men,
[Am]All of my [Em]pain when I [F]think back to [Am]when.
[Am]Remember her [Em]hair as it [F]shone in the [Am]sun,
[Am]The smell of [Em]the bed when I [F]knew what she’d [Am]done.
[Am]Tell yourself [Em]over and [F]over you [E]won’t ever need her again.

[chorus]
[F]Don’t fool yourself, [F]she was heartache from the [Em]moment that you met her.
[F]My heart is frozen still, [F]as I try to find the will to [C]forget her, somehow.
[Em]She’s somewhere out there [Am]now.

[Closing]
[F]Oh, [F]she was heartache from the day that I first [Em]met her.
[F]My heart is frozen still, [F]as I try to find the will to [C]forget you somehow
[Em]’Cause I know you’re somewhere [Am]out there right now.
