[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G][D][A][Bm][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I married [A]Charlie
when I was six[Bm]teen
But I [Em]didn't love him and
he [A]didn't love [D]me
Frank was sweet, sent me [A]poetry
[Bm]But it wasn'[Em]t the same as
it [A]was [D]on TV
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 2]
A lonely widow with no [A]place to go
[Bm]For a time[Em] I settled on the Flor[A]ida coas[D]t
Rick and Arlie, they [A]had [Bm]to go
To [Em]join the rest of my [A]family's
[D]ghosts[Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
And [Bm]oh o[D]h oh,
I [G]haven't been a perfect [D]wife
I'm a [Bm]lonely [A]heart,
[G]looking for the real romance of my lif[D]e
[Bm][G][D][Bm][G]

[Verse 4]
[A]
[D]Now Sam was a hard man
with a [A]real mean [Em]streak
Said women don't need romance
[A]mag[D]azines
But I showed him with his
[A]last cof[Em]fee
And now they can do anything
they [A]like with [D]me
[Bm]Oh o[A]h oh,

[Verse 5]
[D]I hav[G]en't been a perfect wif[D]e
I'm a [Bm]lonely [A]heart,
[G]looking for the real romance of my lif[D]e
[Em]Take it easy,

[Verse 6]
[Bm]don't worry
[A]I'll be fine in here
[Em]I'm sure I'll find my per
[Bm]fect mate yet
[A]And my conscience is clear

[Interlude 1]

[Bm][G][A][D][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 7]
Didn't [D]do it for the money,
in truth I was [Bm]bored
[G]Nobody writes to me [D]any more
Cigarettes and [A]prison wall[Bm]s
Will keep [G]me company 'til
I [A]meet [D]the Lord
And Lord knows that [Bm]Oh oh [A]oh, I

[Verse 8]
[D]
[G]haven't
been a perfect [D]wife
I'm a [Bm]lonely [G]heart,
looking for the real romance of my [D]life
[Bm]Oh o[A]h oh,

I'm a [Bm]lonely [A]hea[G]rt, looking for the real romance
of my [D]life
