{intro} 
 
C                     C 
You act like you were just born tonight 
      Am                  Am 
Face down in a memory but feeling all right 
   G                     G 
So who does your past belong to today? 
      Am                                G 
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way 
 
The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?" 
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies 
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull 
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full 
 
F                               Em 
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache 
Am                     F 
See what else your old heart can take 
    F                           Em 
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room" 
    Am                        G 
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon" 
 
{repeat intro} 
 
{instrumental, same chords as chorus} 
 
Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing 
You're still uptown on your downhill swing 
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around? 
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown? 
 
Splitting your dice to be someone you're not 
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot 
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone 
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home 
 
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache 
See what else your old heart can take 
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room" 
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon" 
 
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache 
See what else your old heart can take 
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room" 
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon" 
 
{repeat intro till fade}
