1. It's a heart-ache__ Noth-ing but a heart-ache
                       F                              C       G
   Hits you when it's too late__ Hits you when you're do-o-o-own
           C                            Em
   It's a fool's game__ Noth-ing but a fool's game
                     F                           C       G
   Stand-ing in the cold rain__ Feel-ing like a clo-o-o-own
            C                          Em
   It's a heart-ache__ Noth-ing but a heart-ache
                       F                             C       G
   Love him till your arms break__ Then he let's you do-o-o-own

              F                    G
** It ain't right__ With love to share
             Em               Am         G  /F  /E  /D
   When you find he does-n't care__ For you
             F                   G
   It ain't wise__ To need some-one 
              Em           Am    G  /F  /E  /D
   As much as I de-pend-ed on...You

            C                          Em
2. It's a heart-ache__ Noth-ing but a heart-ache
                       F                              C       G
   Hits you when it's too late__ Hits you when you're do-o-o-own
          C                            Em
   Its a fool's game__ Noth-ing but a fool's game
                     F                           C       G
   Stand-ing in the cold rain__ Feel-ing like a clo-o-o-own

Please Note: The Bass Run G/F, G/E, G/D uses the bass notes on the 4th string with the omission of strings 5 & 6. You don't have to play the bass run but give it a go - sounds great, especially if you are finger-picking. If you omit the bass run, simply play a G chord.
