Intro

      

Verse 1

It's hard describing a heartache- Oh, cuz it's a one of a kind of thing.
A serious injury- And a whole lot of endless pain.
If it was a storm- I'd compare to a hur----ri---cane-  
Oh it's even got a name...

Chorus

If it was a drink, It would be a strong one-
If it was a sad song, It would be a long one.
If it was a color, It would be a deep deep blue-
But if we're talking about a heartache- It would be you.

Verse 2

If it was a full moon, It would be a total eclipse-
If it was a tidal wave, It would sink a thousand ships-
If it was a blizzard, It would be a record breaking cold-
If it was a lie, It would be the biggest story you've ever told-

Chorus

If it was a drink, It would be a strong one-
If it was a sad song, It would be a long one-
If it was a color, It would be a deep deep blue- 
But if we're talking about a heartache- It would be you.

Instrumental

N.C.

[Just follow the chord progression and make your own instrumental solo-]

Outro

If it was a color, It would be a deep deep blue- 
But if we're talking about a heartache, It would be you.

Repeat Lick and resolve to G
