You could’ve heard a heart break (video)

F - Em - F - Em

F

1. Behind the bar I see some crazy things,

Em

I watch those disappearing wedding rings.

F

A telephone call, pagin' so and so,

Em

there he is shakin' his head, no.

E Am

'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him,

E Am

he can't quit now, he's gone out on a limb.

D

Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tomb,

G G7

‘cause guess who happens to walk in the room ?

Am Em

You could've heard a heart break, you could've heard a tear drop,

F Dm - G

I feel so bad for her sake, now what's she gonna do ?

Am Em

The chances that a fool takes never knowin' when to stop.

F - G Am

Oh, you could've heard a heart break, breakin' right in two.

+ Am - G - F - G

C

2. She walks on over, tears in her eyes,

Em

she knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies.

F

The silence is deafening, all eyes are on her.

Em

What will she say to that innocent girl ?

E Am

Her hands start shakin' 'cause the words don't come,

E Am

she's in shock, her whole body is numb.

D

Everyone there is holdin' their breath,

G G7

with the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says.

Am Em

You could've heard a heart break, you could've heard a tear drop,

F Dm - G

I feel so bad for her sake, now what's she gonna do ?

Am Em

The chances that a fool takes never knowin' when to stop.

F - G Am - G - F

Oh, you could've heard a heart break, breakin' right in two.

+ CHORUS

G Am

+ You could've heard a heart break !
