Intro: CAmGDm

C
You act like you were just born tonight
Am
Face down in a memory, but feeling all right
G
So who does your past belong to today?
AmG
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
---
C
The girls in the bars thinking, "Who is this guy?"
Am
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
G
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
AmG
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Chorus:
FEm
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
AmF
See what else your old heart can take
Dm
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
AmG
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

C
Everybody's talking, but you don't hear a thing
Am
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
G
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
AmG
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
---
C
There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Am
You say you're looking for something you might have forgot
G
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
AmG
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Chorus:
FEm
Just tell her you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
AmF
See what else your old heart can take
Dm
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
AmG
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
Chorus:
FEm
Just tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
AmF
See what else your old heart can take
Dm
The boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
AmG
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
