Verse: 
(NC) 
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache 
(NC) 
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down 
        C                          Em 
It's a fools' game, nothing but a fool's game 
                 F                          C     G 
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown 
         C                        Em 
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache 
                     F                              C    G 
Love him 'till your arms break, then he'll let you down 
 
Bridge: 
          F                   G 
It ain't right with love to share 
          Em              Am7        G F Em  
When you find he doesn't care for you 
          F                 G 
It ain't wise to need someone  
           Em         Am7  G  F  Em  Dsus2 
As much as I depended on you 
 
Verse: 
Oh, it's heartache, nothing but a heartache 
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down 
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game 
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown 
 
Bridge: 
It ain't right with love to share 
When you find he doesn't care for you 
It ain't wise to need someone  
As much as I depended on you 
 

Oh, it's a heartache, nothing but a heartache 
You love him 'till your arms break, then he'll let you down 
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game 
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
