[CHORUS] – – – – – [E] heartaches by the number, [A] troubles by the score, [B] Every day you love me less, each day I love you [E] more. Yes, I’ve got [E] heartaches by the number, a [A] love that I can’t win. But the [B] day that I stop counting, that’s the day my world will [E] end.
[E] Heartache number one was when you [A] left me;
I [B] never knew that I could hurt this [E] way.
And [E] heartache number two was when you [A] came back again, [B] You came back and never meant to [E] stay.
Now I’ve got [CHORUS] – – – – –
[ E A B ] Heartache number three was when you called me, and said that you were coming back to stay. With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door. I waited but you must have lost your way.
PAUSE – SIGH – SCROLL UP – CONTINUE
I felt the need to add a healthier verse
(CHORUS – loved past tense) I’m over [E] heartaches by the number, [A] troubles by the score, [B] Every day you loved me less, each day I loved you [E] more. I’m through with [E] heartaches by the number, a [A] love I can’t win. The [B] day that I stopped counting, that’s the day this all would [E] end.
[ E A B ] Heartache number four just didn’t happen, because I am fin’ly over you. No more wasted nights sittin’ down by the phone. You might say that my counting days are through.
(CHORUS – loved past tense) I’ve no more [E] heartaches by the number, [A] troubles by the score, [B] Every day you loved me less, each day I loved you [E] more. I’m through with [E] heartaches by the number, a [A] love I can’t win. And the [B] day that I stopped counting, that’s the day this all would [E] end.
