Intro: Am7 Dm G C (twice)
Am7 Dm
Here comes that feeling
G C
I’ve seen in your eyes
Am7 Dm
Back in the old days
G C
before the hard times
E7 Am Am7/G D/F#
But I’m not afraid anymore
C G C
it’s only a broken heart
Am7 Dm
I know the place where
G C
you keep your secrets
Am7 Dm
out of the sunshine
G C
down in a valley
E7 Am Am7/G D/F#
but I’m not afraid anymore
C G C
it’s only a broken heart
Bb Am
what would I give
Bb Am
to start all over again
Bb Am G (Gsus4 G)
to clean up my mistakes
stand in the moonlight
stand under heaven
wait for an answer
hold out forever
but don’t be afraid anymore
it’s only a broken heart
what would I give
to start all over again
to clean up my mistakes
I know your weakness
you’ve seen my dark side
the end of the rainbow
is always a long ride
but don’t be afraid anymore
it’s only a broken heart
it’s only a broken heart
(12-string solo on verse)
