version 3
This song uses the same pattern over and over again. Use 3 down strums for the A
for the verses and chorus. I hope this helps you figure out the song. I sometimes
throw in a A7 for the chorus just because it sounds a little more rough and edgy
than just a plain A.
Verses: A-G-D-A
Pre-Chorus: D-G-A
Chorus- A-G-D-A (you can use an A7 if you desire)
A G
When you were young
D A
and on your own
A G
How did it feel
D G
to be alone?
Pre-Chorus
D
I was always thinking
G
of games that I was playing.
D
Trying to make
A
the best of my time.
Chorus
A D
But only love
G A
can break your heart
A D
Try to be sure
G A
right from the start
A D
Yes only love
G A
can break your heart
A D
What if your world
G A
should fall apart?
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.
But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Yes, only love
can break your heart
Yes, only love
can break your heart
