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. 
 
  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. 

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.
