G                           Am               G
Tell a little white lie and then multiply by ten

    C     Am           D7        G
And then  that's how a heartache begins

D7       G                        Am                G
Mix some flowers he bought with a date he forgot to attend

    C     Am           D7        G
And then  that's how a heartache begins

 
  C                       G
I know about heartaches I know all the mistakes

       Am                        G
That a young love can make  I've made them

   C                             G
So let's still be friends to the soft violins

     Am             A7              D7
I've listened while somebody played them

 
         G
Call his number in vain

Am                       G
Again and again he's not in

    C     Am           D7        G
But then  that's how a heartache begins

 
  C                       G
I know about heartaches I know all the mistakes

       Am                        G
That a young love can make  I've made them

   C                             G
So let's still be friends to the soft violins

     Am             A7              D7
I've listened while somebody played them

 
Am           D7        G
That's how a heartache begins
