C
A heartache for a keepsake 
       F
What a tragic souvenir
G7
Now I know how it feels 
                           C
When peoples dreams all disappear
 
 
I'm looking out my window
         F
Watching her just walk away
  G7
A heartache for a keepsake
                    C
It became mine just today
 
  G7
A picture fades with time
           C
But will a heartache do the same
D7
Years from now will I still
        G7
Wake up nights and call her name
 
      C
Oh it hurts to love somebody
       F
And to see her walk away
  G7
A heartache for a keepsake
                    C
It became mine just today
 
  G7
A picture fades with time
           C
But will a heartache do the same
D7
Years from now will I still
        G7
Wake up nights and call her name
 
      C
Oh it hurts to love somebody
       F
And to see her walk away
  G7
A heartache for a keepsake
                    C
It became mine just today
