G
D
Hugged your friends
G
Kissed your mamma goodbye
D G
Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye
D D/C# Bm G
Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why
A
From me
D G
Me and the baby and you side by side
D G
We all knew we was in for a long hard ride
D D/C# Bm G A
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed
Em G
We honked the horn when we crossed the
A
State line
Em G A
Woke up the baby and she started to cry
Em
She must've known
G A D
What we were going to find
D G D A
This ain't nothin' but a Heartbreak Town
D G D A
Square people in a world that's round
Bm
And they watch you dancin'
C C/B
Without the sound
G A
It ain't nothin' no nothin'
D G D A
You take your number and you stand in line
D G G/F#
And they watch to see how high you're gonna climb
Bm C C/B
Pat on the back 'n ' better luck next time
G A G
It ain't nothin' no it ain't nothin but a Heartbreak Town
D G
Stardust well it's a funny thing
D
It can make you cuss
G
It can make you sing
D D/C# Bm G A
And the need to touch it gets hard to explain some days
D
I've seen 'em rise
G
I've seen 'em fall
D
Some get nothin'
G
And Lord some get it all
D D/C#
Some just run
Bm G A
While others crawl away
Em G A
Hold my hand baby don't let go
Em
I've got some front money
G A
And I've got a next show
Em
And I'm gonna need you
G A D
Down this yellow brick road
D G D A
This ain't nothin' but a Heartbreak Town
D G D A
Square people in a world that's round
Bm
And they watch you dancin'
C C/B
Without the sound
G A
It ain't nothin' no nothin'
D G D A
You take your number and you stand in line
D G G/F#
And they watch to see how high you're gonna climb
Bm C C/B
Pat on the back 'n ' better luck next time
G A G
It ain't nothin' no it ain't nothin but a Heartbreak Town
