Key G#5 - capo 1st fret, play G5 
 
Intro :  G5 A5 G5 A5 G5 C5 A5 D5 
 
       G5                     A5                  G5 
Tell a little white lie, and then multiply it by ten 
    C5      A5            D5         G5          D5 
And then,  that's how a heartache begins 
         G5                        A5                G5 
Mix some flowers he bought with a date he forgot to attend 
    C5      A5            D5         G5  
And then,  that's how a heartache begins 
 
(Chorus)
   G5 

  C5                        G5 
I know about heartaches, I know all the mistakes 
     A5                         G5 
That young love can make - I've made them 
   C5                             G5 
So let's still be friends to the soft violins 
      A5            A5              D5 
I've listened while somebody played them 
         G5              A5                        G5 
Call his number in vain again and again, he's not in 
    C5      A5            D5         G5  
But then,  that's how a heartache begins 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 A5          D5         G5  
That's how a heartache begins ....
