Heartbreak

Intro 

B   B  E  B 


 
B 
Thought I’d left that pain behind, 
E 
But the doc says he’s still on my mind. 
B 
He saw a glitch on my EKG, 
E 
Said I had a small heart attack in my history. 

B 



B 
Shook my head and smiled, 
                       E 
No, doc, that’s just a heartbreak, a memory. 
C#m                                  B 
I’m better now, yeah, better somehow. 

 
    E        B 
Hey doc, no pills for me, 
     F#            G#m   F# 
This red guitar’s my remedy. 
  E                        B 
I’m tuning my heart like I tune my guitar, 
F#                                               B 
Strumming through the pain so I won’t fall apart. 

B  E 



B 
Bought this here electric guitar, 
    E 
I’m learning how to pour my feelings 
           B 
Onto these wire strings, 
                            E 
keeping my heart strong and steady. 



B 
Growing stronger every day, 
          E 
When the next heartbreak rolls ‘round, 
             C#m 
I’ll strum away that pain, 
                      F# 
Takin' control of the tempo of my life.

I’ll measure the rhythm of my heartbeat in 4/4 time 
                 C#m 
And I’ll let you know if it breaks again, 
          E 
But until then, I’m better now,

yeah, I’m better somehow.
