If Heartaches Had Wings

Intro - E - Esus
(verse 1)
E                   D            A       E
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night,
E                 D          A                E - Esus-E
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight,
E                D                 A           E
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall,
         E             D            A         E - Esus-E
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall,
(verse 2)
          E           D         A             E
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms,
    E                 D          A           E- Esus-E
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon,
    E       D              A              E
And nobody told her about none of these things,
    E                     D               A             E
And God only knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings,
     D             A               E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
  D             A                 E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
        D         A           E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
     D            A             A    Abm   F#m  E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
(verse 3)
E            D               A          E
She grew up believing that wishes come true,
E              D                A               E - Esus
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do,
E                         D             A              E
So she married her the captain of the school football team,
E                   D               A         E - Esus
Just like she was supposed to as homecoming queen,
     D             A               E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
  D             A                 E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
        D         A           E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
     D            A             A    Abm   F#m  E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
(lead chords) - E - D - A - E = 4x's
(verse 4)
    E               D             A            E
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed,
     E                D               A           E - Esus-E
The sounds of that highway still run through her head,
    E           D              A               E
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers,
    E              D               A     E - Esus
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care,
     D             A               E - Esus
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
  D             A                 E - Esus
Away like some bird through the night,
        D         A           E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
     D            A             A    Abm   F#m  E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
     D             A             A    Abm   F#m  E
And God knows she leave there if heartaches had wings,
