Intro - E - Esus
(verse 1)
E D A E
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night,
E D A E - Esus-E
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight,
E D A E
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall,
E D A E - Esus-E
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall,
(verse 2)
E D A E
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms,
E D A E- Esus-E
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon,
E D A E
And nobody told her about none of these things,
E D A E
And God only knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings,
D A E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
D A E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
D A A Abm F#m E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
(verse 3)
E D A E
She grew up believing that wishes come true,
E D A E - Esus
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do,
E D A E
So she married her the captain of the school football team,
E D A E - Esus
Just like she was supposed to as homecoming queen,
D A E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
D A E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
D A A Abm F#m E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
(lead chords) - E - D - A - E = 4x's
(verse 4)
E D A E
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed,
E D A E - Esus-E
The sounds of that highway still run through her head,
E D A E
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers,
E D A E - Esus
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care,
D A E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
D A E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
D A A Abm F#m E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
D A A Abm F#m E
And God knows she leave there if heartaches had wings,
