A#
I've been a fool for love
Ever since I was a baby
Just a rocking in the cradle
As a rule, I was
     C
The kind that laid his feelings
     F
Up front and on the table

A#
I gave her my world so many times
         D#               C
Just to see 'em tear it apart
    A#                         F
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity
                A#
on my poor old heart

Chorus:
          D#                      A#
I wonder just how many times a broken
heart can mend
         C
Oh and when I get back on my feet, Lord,
     F
I always fall again
  A#
Bridges burned, lies, good-byes
     D#                  C
They've all dealt some scars
    A#                         F
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on
             A#
my poor old heart

Well I ought to know by now
After all these dead-end heartache lessons
I can go without
Going through hell trying' to
find a little heaven
Seems to me every woman I meet
Has leaving down to an art
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity
on my poor old heart

Chorus

Well I said, bridges burned, lies, good-byes
They've all dealt some scars
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity
on my poor old heart
I said Lord have a little bit of pity
on my poor old heart
