**Capo One**
Verse 1:
G D
At a table for two with a romantic view
C D
He said there's something that you need to know
G D
I don't usually date, so if I hesitate
C D
It's just that I'm taking it slow
Am G D
He said darlin I don't wanna hurt you
Am G D
As he gently reached out for her hand
Am G D
She laughed as she picked up her menu
C D
And said Mister you don't understand
Chorus 1:
G
I've been loved, I've been left
D
I've been wronged by the best
Em D C D
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
G
I've heard promises spoken
D
I've had dreams left so broken
Em D C
There was no chance they'd ever come true
Em D C D
It ain't easy to see by looking at me
G G9 C
But there's no hell I haven't walked through
G D
If you're worried that's fine
Em C D G
But this heart of mine's been broken by better than you
Verse 2:
When dinner was done she said I had fun
As they walked to her door he smiled
He said it's only ten, could I come in
Maybe we could just talk for awhile
She said honey I know what you're after
And as much as I'd like you to stay
Nothin good ever lasted
When it gets started that way
Chorus 2:
I've been loved, I've been left
I've been wronged by the best
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
I've heard promises spoken
I've had dreams left so broken
There was no chance they'd ever come true
It ain't easy to see but take it from me
There's no hell I haven't walked through
And I won't cross that line
Cause this heart of mine's been broken by better than you
G D
No I won't cross that line
Em C D G
But this heart of mine's been broken by better than you
