1. I'm calling to tell you it’s over,
D7 G
yes,
darling, you're now free to go.
G D
You're saying you're sorry you
hurt me,
D7 G
- G7
but
you hurt me much more than you know.
C
G
You're asking me where this
call comes from,
D A7 D
- D7
oh, I
hope that you won't end up here.
G
D
If your
new romance turns out a failure,
D7 G
here's
where to find me my dear :
G D
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome,
D7 G
right next to the Heartbreak Hotel,
G
D
in a tavern that's known as
Three Teardrops,
D7 G
on a bar stool, not doing so
well.

2. The floor has a carpet of sorrows,
D7
G
but
no one can weep in the aisle,
G D
and
they say someone broke the bar mirror,
D7 G
with
only the ghost of a smile.
C
G
The hands on the clock never
alter,
D A7 D - D7
for
things never change in this place.
G D
There's no present, no past,
no future,
D7 G
we're
the ones who have lost in love’s race.
