{ 3/4 }
              / / /                   / / /
[intro:]    |A7    |D    |G    |A    |A7   |D    |G    |A   |
 
 
[verse: 1]
| A7             |D        |G      |A
   When you were young and on your own
|A7         |D      |G  |A    |A7
 How did it feel to be alone 
{ 4/4 } 
|Dmaj7           |        |G                 |
 I was always thinking of games that I was playing
|Dmaj7              |         |G
 Trying to make the best of my time
 
{ 3/4 }
[chorus:]
|A7       |G        |         |F#m    |
 But only love can break your heart
           |Em        |        |A
 Try to be sure right from the start
|A7       |G         |        |F#m    |
 Yes only love can break your heart    
              |Em         |     |A
 What if your world should fall apart   

         / / /                   / / /
[:]    |A7    |D    |G    |A    |A7   |D    |G    |A   |
 
 
[verse: 2]
|A7       |D          |G    |A
 I have a friend I've never seen
|A7           |D     |G     |A     |A7
 He hides his head inside a dream
{ 4/4 }
|Dmaj7           |           |G             |
 Someone should call him and see if he can come out
|Dmaj7           |              |G
 Try to lose the down that he's found
 
{ 3/4 }
[chorus:]
|A7       |G        |         |F#m    |
 But only love can break your heart
           |Em        |        |A
 Try to be sure right from the start
|A7       |G         |        |F#m    |
 Yes only love can break your heart    
              |Em         |     |A
 What if your world should fall apart
