HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER Recorded by Ray Price Written by Harlan Howard CAPO: 1st Fret KEY: Bb PLAY: A [A] Heartache number one was when you - [D] left me I [E] never knew that I'd could hurt this [A] way And heartache number two was when you - [D] come back again [E] You came back and never meant to [A] stay. CHORUS Now, I've got [A] Heartaches by the number [D] troubles by the score [E] Every day you love me less each day I love you [A] more Yes, I've got [A] Heartaches by the number, a [D] love that I can't win But the [E] day that I stop counting that's the day my world will [A] end. Heartache number three was when you - called me And said that you was coming back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for your - knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way. CHORUS
