Heartaches By The Number(Chords)

	        
   D              D7        G     G/F#     E7 
Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score; 
 
 A             A7                 A     A7       D 
Every day you love me less, each day I love you more. 
 
   D              D7          G      G/F#     E7 
Heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win... 
 
         A                A7 
But the day that I stop countin',  
 
            A      A7         D 
That's the day my world will end. 

 
     D            D7               G         G/F# 
Heartache number one was when you left me; 
 
    A             A7                 D

     D                D7               G    G/F#  Em 
And heartache number two was when you came back again-- 
 
  A                 A7              D    A

Repeat Refrain: 
 
Heartache number three was when you called me 
And said that you were comin' back to stay; 
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door-- 
I waited, but you must have lost your way.  Yes, I've got 
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Coda: 
 
         A                A7 
But the day that I stop countin',  
 
            A  G   A7   Gdim  D     
That's the day my world will end.
