Key G# - capo 1st fret, play G 
 
Intro :  G Am G Am G C Am D 
 
       G                     Am                  G 
Tell a little white lie, and then multiply it by ten 
    C      Am            D         G          D 
And then,  that's how a heartache begins 
         G                        Am                G 
Mix some flowers he bought with a date he forgot to attend 
    C      Am            D         G  
And then,  that's how a heartache begins 
 
(Chorus)
   G7 

  C                        G 
I know about heartaches, I know all the mistakes 
     Am                         G 
That young love can make - I've made them 
   C                             G 
So let's still be friends to the soft violins 
      Am            A7              D 
I've listened while somebody played them 
         G              Am                        G 
Call his number in vain again and again, he's not in 
    C      Am            D         G  
But then,  that's how a heartache begins 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 Am          D         G  
That's how a heartache begins ....
