[Verse 1]
   C                  Dm       G7           C
If heartaches brought fame, in love's crazy game,
         F      G7    C     G7
I’d be a legend in my time.
             C         Dm         G7          C
If they gave gold statuettes, for tears and regrets,
         F      G7     C     D
I’d be a legend in my time.

[Chorus]
         E7          Fdim7              A            A7
But they don’t give awards, and there’s no praise or fame,
      D                 D6           Dm             G7
For a heart that’s been broken, over love that’s in vain.

[Verse 2]
         C                  F
If loneliness meant world acclaim,
     G7                C
Everyone would know my name.
    C7   F      G7    C
I’d be a legend in my time.

But they don’t, they don’t give awards, and there’s no praise or fame,
      D                 D6           Dm             G7
For a heart that’s been broken, over love that’s in vain.

I’d be a legend in my time.
