INTRO: A augmentedA D MajorD


#1.
A augmentedA  D MajorD            A augmentedA
I'm alone in a house made of sorrow.
               D MajorD
And each room is haunted with you.
                  A augmentedA
Should the end of the world come tomorrow,
               D MajorD
I'll be waiting on Heartbreak Avenue.

CHORUS:
 G+G         A augmentedA     D MajorD
I scattered all our promises behind me.
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
There's no use to hope that they'll come true.
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
But if you change your mind you can find me,
               D MajorD
I'll be waiting on Heartbreak Avenue.


INTERLUDE: D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


#2.
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
I was warned that some day you'd desert me.
                 D MajorD
I'd wake up and find that we were through.
A augmentedA    D MajorD            A augmentedA
They all told me that you'd only hurt me,
               D MajorD
and I'd end up on Heartbreak Avenue.


CHORUS:
G+G        A augmentedA        D MajorD
Someday you may understand this yearning,
E MajorE               A augmentedA
when somebody does the same to you.
     D MajorD              A augmentedA
Then when deep in your heart there's a burning,
                 D MajorD
we'll be neighbors on Heartbreak Avenue.
