(intro 2x) G7 C F G 

     G7            C         F      G
    When you were young and on you own,
    G7          C       F   G   G7
    how did it feel to be alone?
    C                         F
    I was always thinking of games that I was playing,
      C                            F
    trying to make the best of my time.

 G7       F                   Em              Dm                   G
But only love can break your heart, try to be sure right from the start.
 G7        F                   Em                 Dm                  G
Yes, only love can break your heart, what if your world should fall apart?

(   G7 C F G   ) (2x)

    G7          C          F     G
    I have a friend I've never seen,
    G7             C    F        G   G7
    he hides his head inside a dream.
     C                           F
    Someone should call him and see, if he can come out,
     C                              F
    try to lose the down that he's found.

 G7       F                   Em              Dm                   G
But only love can break your heart, try to be sure right from the start.
 G7        F                   Em                 Dm                  G   G7 C F G (2x)
Yes, only love can break your heart, what if your world should fall apart?

    G7          C          F     G
    I have a friend I've never seen,
    G7             C    F        G
    he hides his head inside a dream.

    G7         C          F        G
    Yes, only love can break your heart!  (4x)
