Why must happy hearts break so hard
Am C D
leave you curled up in the back seat of a car,
Em C Am7
staring up at the windshield?

When will broken hearts learn how to heal?

This boy I knew was five years older than me
Am C D
His daddy'd left him when he was three.

After we went walking by a stream,
G C D
he held me down and made me feel as bad as he.
G D Em
Why must happy hearts break so hard,
Am C D
leave you standing in the darkness of the barn,
Em C Am7
staring at those rusty wheels?
G D G
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?
C G D Em
And everybody's searching for a place to put their love.

See the people on the street?

leave you staring in the mirror at a bar?
Em C Am7
Leave you talking to yourself,
G D G
because you can't talk to anybody else
