G                                 C
You always find a way to hurt my pride
             D7                   G
If I'm not crying, you're not satisfied
G                                    C
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
                                  G
but if you're trying to break my heart
                 D7        G  G7
you don't have very far to go

                  C                                    G   G7
You  don't have very far to go before the heartache begins
      C                             G              D7    
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak setting in
         G                                   C
you can't love me and still love to hurt me so
                               G                    D7          G
if you're trying to break my heart, you don't have very far to go
                (play turn around)
G7               C                                  G    G7
You don't have very far to go before a heartache begins,
    C                              G              D7
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak setting in
   G                                       C
you're turning down the flame of love too low
                               G
if you're trying to break my heart
                 D7        G
you don't have very far to go
