Intro

Verse 1

You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feelin' all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way

Verse 2

The girls in the bars thinking, "Who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Chorus

Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."

Instrumental

| F | Em | Am | F | % | Dm | Am | G |

Verse 3

Everybody's talkin' but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?

Verse 4

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're lookin' for somethin' you might've forgot
Don't bother callin' to say you're leavin' alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're tryin' to get home

Chorus

Tell 'em you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."

Chorus

Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."
