[D] I love it [G] when the audience gets up and sings and dances.
[D] It's delicious.
[A] But you know, I also [D] love to sing and I can [G] only get away with singing by myself if I do [D] songs that you haven't heard.
[A] And [D] this is one you probably haven't heard.
It's from our new album.
[G] It's called Nothing But a [D] Heartache.
[A] Wasn't nothing but a [D] heartache in the middle of a [G] bad dream.
And I took [A] on the whole world.
And I never had [D] a chance.
Good.
Was a one-way conversation.
Never got [G] the invitation.
The sharpness [A] of her words deceiving.
And I couldn't [D] stop the bleeding.
Lord, I tried to be [G] forgiving.
But getting by don't mean [A] you're living.
And on that highway going [G] nowhere was an exit [A] overdue.
All she had for me [G] was heartache.
[A] So she broke my [D] heart in two.
[G] There she there.
[D] [A] Found me drifting [D] in a small boat.
Out on the [G] middle of an ocean.
You were there on [A] my horizon.
And I [D] didn't have a notion.
Unprepared to comprehend it.
Felt alone and [G] unattended.
Sent my prayers and [A] reached my hand out.
[E] And you appeared to me [D] that day.
Came and led me to [G] a new place.
I had never been [A] there before.
Pulled me in the right [G] direction.
And you led me [A] out of hell.
[A] And if it wasn't [G] for your good heart, [A] I'd have never [D] broke her spell.
Because you promised me [G] tomorrow.
[A] And I learned that [D] lesson well.
[D]
Yes, I did.
[A] [A] [D] You're the summer for [G] my heartbeats.
You're the only truth [A] my heart needs.
You showed me how to make [G] the journey.
And I can't let you walk [A] away.
No, not today.
Because I've already slept [G] with heartache.
[A] Time to chase the night [D] away.
Just the two of us [G] together.
Does forever sound [D] okay?
So yes, it does.
[G] So yes, it [D] does.
[G] [A] [D]
