Intro
[C] [D]
Verse 1
Well, [G]we’ve all been down this road before
Where you [Em]think you’re heading for something more
But in[D]evitably it crumbles to dust in the [C]end
You [G]think you would have learned by now
But you [Em]went ahead and allowed
Your [D]hopes and dreams to get back up a[C]gain
But [D]what looked like a dream come [Em]true
Went and played a trick on [G]you
And there’s nothing you can [C]do
[D]Nothing left but to pick the pieces [Em]up
Think of it as a half full [G]cup
And don’t let yourself e[C]rupt [D]…it’s not the[G]end [D]
Verse 2
So you for[G]get it all and start again
[Em]Working hard with all your friends
But you [D]never really seem to quite for[C]get
Because [G]once you have been burned before
You [Em]flinch when you know what’s in store
So you pro[D]tect yourself from more re[C]gret
So in[D]stead of wearing holes in your [Em]shoes
You live your life that's filled with [G]blues
But at least you didn’t [C]loose
And yet [D]you’re losing out on [Em]life
No husband or no [G]wife
Just loneliness and [C]strife[D]…that never [G]ends [D]
Verse 3
[G]There is no moral in the end
Just be [Em]ready for love or get burned again
Or [D]settle for a lonely life of [C]one
A [G]sense of humor may be what we need
So [Em]we can laugh when we start to bleed
The [D]only way to keep from coming un[C]done
Just [D]keep on putting your heart on the [Em]line
And maybe after [G]time
Things will work out [C]fine
[D]You’ll find there’s a heart out there for [Em]you
That’s been waiting your whole life [G]through
And you’ll have a love that’s [C]true[D]…in the [C]end [G]
