G

[Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love
       Em                C               D
For he thinks he is the one she dreams of
        Am
But her bed was made elsewhere
          C
From the first day she got there
        G               D               C    D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
D                        C             G
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me
           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

[Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys she has gone since moring came
       Em             C           D
She gave so much that only love remains
     Am
Her lover is long gone
         C
With the money she sent on
        G               D               C    D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
D                        C             G
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

[Chorus]
                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me
           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

[Bridge]
            Em              D             C
That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime
            G                   D               C
That broken heart will try your love like none before
         Am               C
You may fight or you may run
             Em             D
For what was fast is now undone
         C                    D               Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
         C                    D                G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

G   C  D  (slide up the C)

[Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
       Em             C           D
Filled with promises and spirits that we raise
        Am
But the spirits all are ghosts
       C
Of the ones we hurt the most
        G               D               C    D
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
D                        C             G
And they wander thirteen valleys crying

[Chorus]
                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me
           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me
           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
