(Capo 1st. Fret)
(Intro G-D7-G)
G C
They just don't know how lost I feel without you,
D7 G
My teardrops never see the light of day.
C
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you,
D7 G
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say.
(Chorus)
G C
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache.
D7 G
There's an aching deep inside, and it just won't be denied.
C
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache,
D7 G
And I better say goodbye before I cry.
(Solo G-C-D7-G-C-D7-G)
G C
I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow.
D7 G
I live a lie in all I do and say,
C
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow,
D7 G
But if I told the truth I'd have to say.
(Repeat Chorus)
