      C                        Em 
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache, 
                   F                              C-G 
hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down. 
       C                          Em 
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game, 
                F                         C-G 
standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown.

                   F                             C-G 
love him till your arms break, then he let's you down. 
         F                  G 
It ain't right with love to share,  
         Em              Am       G 
when you find he doesn't care, for you. 
         F                G 
It ain't wise to need someone,  
          Em         Am   G 
as much as I depended on, you.
