Am
While this town is busy sleeping,
Em
All the noise has died away.
Am
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
Am                             Em
'Cause she'll never change her ways.

Chorus:
       Fmaj7
Don't fool yourself,
                                           Em
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
        Fmaj7
Ah, my heart feels so still
                                 C             G/B
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
         Em                      Am
Ooh, I think I've forgotten her now.

Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her,
Was sober with no place to go.

Chorus:
Don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.

         Am           Em7        F/G      Am
Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Am              Em7           F/G         Am
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
Am         Em7    F/G        Am
All of the words, all of her men,
Am        Em7          F/G           Am
All of my pain when I think back to when.
Am           Em7         F/G          Am
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
Am               Em7         F/G             Am
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Am            Em7      F/G       E/G#                 E
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.

Chorus:
Don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Em                           E/G#
She's somewhere out there now.

Chorus:
Oh,
She was heartache from the day that i first met her.
My heart is frozen still
As i try to find the will to forget you somehow
Cause i know you're somewhere out there right now
