Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  act like you were just  born tonight
 Face down  in a memory but feeling  all right
 So who  does your past belong  to today?
 Baby, you  don't say nothing when you're feeling  this way
 The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"
 But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
 You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
 Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Tell  me you're trying to cure a seven-year  ache
See  what else your old heart  can take
 The boys  say, "when is he gonna give  us some room"
 The girls  say, "god I hope he comes  back soon"
 Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
 You're still uptown on your downhill swing
 Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
 Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
 Splitting your dice to be someone you're not
 You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
 Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
 'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
 Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
 See what else your old heart can take
 The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
 The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon"
 Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
 See what else your old heart can take
 The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
 The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon"

[instrumental, same chords as chorus]

Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?

Splitting your dice to be someone you're not
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home

Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon"

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon"

[repeat intro till fade]
