(G) Baby when your heart breaks down
When you're low on love
And there isn't anybody ar(G7)ound
You're (C) gonna feel bad
And you'll wanna get back
The (D) only good thing that you ever had
(G) Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin' to forget him
But, it ain't no use
(C) Then you're gonna know what I'm feelin' now
(D) Baby when your heart breaks (G) down
Well, I (Em) left Cotton Valley on a 309
(C) Gave up the job on the gas pipe line
And I (G) chased you across the country
Like that's (D) all I had to do
There ain't (Em) nothin' in the world would've changed my mind
(C) You were the girl with the starry eyes
And (G) all those dreams that never had a (D) chance of comin' true
repeat chorus
Well, I (Em) come along way to get hung up on
So I (C) bought another ticket on a big grey dog
I'm (G) back out on this highway
Tryin' (D) not to think of you
(Em) One of these nights when he says good-bye
(C) Just to see how hard you'll cry
(G) You'll be tryin' not to want me, (D) too
repeat chorus
--key change--
(A) Baby when your heart breaks down
