G            D7
Sitting in a dim cafe' 
C                   G
Listening while the jukebox play
    C               D7            G
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
               D7
Thinking of my wasted past 
C                G
Wondering if someday at last
  C                D7             G
I win the sweetest love I've ever known
 
     D7
Then all at once I saw her 
      
Arm in arm with my best friend
C                   D7
Heartbreak can't be far away 
       C          D7          G
'Cause heartaches just walked in
 
                     D7
I watched her as she smiled at him 
    C               G
And though the tiny lights were dim
  C                        D7             G
I could see the love light shining in her eyes
                      D7
With aching heart and trembling hand 
  C                 G
I stood and watched another man
C              D7            G
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife
 
    D7
And as the teardrops started 
            
I thought of things that might have been
C                   D7
Heartbreak can't be far away 
       C          D7          G
'Cause heartaches just walked in
 
                       D7
And then my poor heart skipped a beat 
    C              G
She took the table next to me
    C           D7           G
She didn't even notice I was there
                      D7
She looked around and just by chance 
    C             G
Our eyes met in a casual glance
    C                 D7                G
She smiled and it was more than I could bare
 
    D7
How could she know the way I feel 
  
To her I'm just a friend
C                   D7
Heartbreak can't be far away 
C                 D7          G
'Cause heartaches just walked in
