TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK
by Patti Scialfa

Hey guys, this is my attempt of figuring out the chords to an acoustic version of this
song. Any help is greatly appreciated, I´m not quite sure if it fits a 100% but it sounds
good to me so far. Just comment if you have any ideas on how to make it sound more accurate.

TUNING
Either low e string tuned one step down OR guitar tuned one step down and a capo on the
2nd fret except first low e string (chords according to capo).

Just lift your finger from the 4th string when playing the DmDm chord to make it sound
better. I listened to the acoustic version where Patti sings a duet with Bruce Springsteen
during his Magic Tour. The lyrics are probably not 100% like the ones on the album version.

I'm all alone

Now Eve
DmDm
She stood by Adam's side
DmDm
Ah, somewhere in paradise
DmDm
When the world was young
DmDm
And their love
DmDm
That was so pure and sound
DmDm
Was cursed straight into the ground
DmDm
That they walked on
  G+G
Now somewhere in every kiss
DmDm
I still feel the blame
    G+G
Like a dirty link
DmDm
In a long dark chain
G+G
Man pull the chain
DmDm
World begin to shake
DmDm          A minorAm          DmDm
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

She says "man,
DmDm
I've given you my flesh and blood
DmDm
But that just wasn't good enough
DmDm
You wanted my soul"

He says "girl,

No matter how hard I try
DmDm
You just ain't ever satisfied
DmDm
no no no"

Now at night the same dream

I'm all alone
