(Chorus),i
This ain't the (C)first time, it won't be the (Am)last timeu|e
I'm hopin' that (F)some time, someone will break your (G)heart

(Am) Then you lay him in the (C)cold, cold ground, (F) black and (G)blue

(Chorus),i
This ain't the (C)first time, it won't be the (Am)last timeu|e
I'm hopin' that (F)some time, someone will break your (G)heart
