Seven Year Ache

(C)You act like you were just born tonight,

face (Am)down in a memory but feelin' all right.

So (G)who does your past belong to today,

baby? (Am)You don't say nothing when you're feelin' this way.

The (C)girls in the bars thinkin' who is this guy?

But (Am)they don't think nothin' when they're tellin' you (G)lies.

You look so careless when they're shootin' that bull.

Don't you know (Am)heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full.

You (F)tell me you're tryin' to cure a (Em)seven year ache.

(Am)See what else your old (F)heart can take.

The boys say, "When is he gonna (Dm)give us some room,"

the (Am)girls say, "God, I hope he (G)comes back soon."

(C)Ev'rybody's talkin' but you don't hear a thing.

You're (Am)still uptown on your downhill swing.

The (G)boulevard's empty, why don't you come around baby?

(Am)What is so great about (G)sleepin' downtown?

There's (C)plenty of dives to be someone you're not.

Just say you're (Am)lookin' for somethin' you might have forgot.

(G)Don't bother callin' to say you're leavin' alone 'cause there's a (Am)fool on ev'ry corner when you're (G)try'n' to get home.

Just (F)tell 'em you're tryin' to cure a (Em)seven year ache.

(Am)See what else your old (F)heart can take.

The boys say, "When is he gonna (Dm)give us (Em)some room,"

the (Am)girls say, "God, I hope he (G)comes back soon."

(F)Tell me you're tryin' to cure a (Em)seven year ache.

(Am)See what else your old (F)heart can take.

The boys say, "When is he gonna (Dm)give us (Em)some room,"

the (Am)girls say, "God, I hope he (G)comes back soon."
