INTRO: A D
#1.
A D A
I'm alone in a house made of sorrow.
D
And each room is haunted with you.
A
Should the end of the world come tomorrow,
D
I'll be waiting on Heartbreak Avenue.
CHORUS:
G A D
I scattered all our promises behind me.
E A
There's no use to hope that they'll come true.
D A
But if you change your mind you can find me,
D
I'll be waiting on Heartbreak Avenue.
INTERLUDE: D A D
#2.
D A
I was warned that some day you'd desert me.
D
I'd wake up and find that we were through.
A D A
They all told me that you'd only hurt me,
D
and I'd end up on Heartbreak Avenue.
CHORUS:
G A D
Someday you may understand this yearning,
E A
when somebody does the same to you.
D A
Then when deep in your heart there's a burning,
D
we'll be neighbors on Heartbreak Avenue.
