             G   F       C
So I left my heart wide open for the fall

 F    C      G      F    C
What a heartache you turned out to be


Chorus:

 F   C/E   C    C/E    F    C    C/E   F
What a heart- ache, what a heart- ache

      C       Am    G     F
Love ain't always what it ap- pears to be

 F    C      G      F    C
What a heartache you turned out to be


  C                   F          C
I thought I'd found a safe and lovin' place inside your heart

          G     F     C
And I was warm and willing anytime

                        F        C
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet, we're lying from the start

              G     F     C
But I swear I thought your love was genuine

 F    C      G      F    C
What a heartache you turned out to be


Chorus:
 F   C/E   C    C/E    F    C    C/E   F
What a heart- ache, what a heart- ache

    C         Am   G      F
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep

       C      G      F    C
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be


Solo:
(C/E)(F) / |(C)(C/E)(F) / |(C) / (Am)(G)|(F) ---

  Am       G        F      C/E
It just goes to show that you never can tell

 G/D     C        G
I really thought that I knew you well ---

  C               G        Am   G  F
I still can't believe I could be deceived so eas- i- ly


   Am      G      F        C
Are all these wishes I'm wishing to my- self

   C/E         F
Like rusty coins in a wishing well

 C               G
Wishes come true, they come false as well

   Am       G      F
It's too late for you and me


      C    C/E    F       C    C/E    F
Oh, what a heart- ache, ooo, what a heart break

     C        Am     G     F
Love is two-faced and easy to believe


Chorus:
    C    C/E    F       C    C/E   F
What a heart- ache, ooo, what a heart- ache

    C      Am     G        F
What a mistake to think I could believe

       C      G      F    C
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be


Tag:
 F      C      G      F    C
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

 F   Am   G     F  Am  C
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm -----
