INTRO: A D


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

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



INTERLUDE: D A D



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


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