Tom: D
E G A E
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night
G A E
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight
G A E
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall
G A E
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall
D A E
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms
D A E
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon
D A E
And nobody told her about none of these things
D A E
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
[Chorus]
D A E
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D A E
Away like some bird through the night
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
D A D A E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings
[Verse 2]
E G A E
She grew up believing that wishes come true
G A E
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do
D A E
So she married her the captain of the school football team
D A E
Just like she was 'sposed to as homecoming queen
[Chorus]
D A E
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D A E
Away like some bird through the night
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
D A D A E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings
[Verse 3]
E G A E
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
G A E
The sound of that highway still runS through her head
D A E
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
D A E
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care
[Chorus]
D A E
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D A E
Away like some bird through the night
D A E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
D A D E D A
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
D E D A E
If heartaches had wings
