If She Hadn't Broken My Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[A]l,[Bm][D][G][F#]
I was [Bm]quite the little hellion in my young[E]er days[Esus4][E]
Full of [Bm]mischief and rebellion,
[E]set in my crazy way[Esus4]s[E]
[A]Already had one marria[Bbdim]ge failed[F#]
From [Bm]drinking and [D]fighting and rais[E]ing hell
I [G]blew through the crazy,
hazy sixties, lost [F#]in a blur
It [Bm]was a sad song that got
me started in my [E]life's career

[Verse 2]
Had them [Bm]dreamy- eyed
cowgirls broken- hearted
[E]Crying in their beer
It was [A]me and Elvis [Bbdim]on top
of [F#]the world
[Bm]I wrote [D]the songs and he got [Abdim]the girls[E]
But the [G]hits and the money
just kept on coming
Then I met [F#]her
She [D]was a

[Verse 3]
[Gm]teenage [G]queen,
all [A]squeaky clean [D]and frisky
A [Bm]mistake that I'll live with forever
[A]like a drunkard's tat[Bm]too
She [D]was [G]a thoroughbred in
her [A]out- of- the- bed
And I [D]fell in way [A]over my [Bm]curly [D]head
But I'm [G]led to believe that what
the wise men have said is [F#]true
[G]If she hadn't broken my [A]heart,
I'd have never found [D]you[A]
[Bm][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[F#]
Just [Bm]a quick hop to Las Vegas,
and the knot [E]was tied
I just [Bm]signed off half my wages,
[E]to a star- struck teenage bride
[A]I should have known that in
[Bbdim]a mat ter of time
[F#]She'd [Bm]be burning up the fast
[D]lane with [E]my last dime
And [G]talking me from the tabloid
With a Cadillac Galboy from [F#]hell

[Verse 5]
I spent [Bm]the next few years in limbo
One [D]of [E]the living dead
Just an [Bm]endless stream of booze and bimbo
[E]Trying to drink her out of my head
[A]And then one night, like a p[F#]ole from the blue
I [Bm]wasn't even [D]looking and I [E]found you
[Abdim]And you b[G]rought me back to life,
like the princess in a fairy tale
[F#]

[Verse 6]
And now [Gm]the teenage [G]queen's
just [A]a seldom- seen old [D]memory
A [A]little [Bm]battle scar from a [A]Cold
War [Bm]of seventeen
And [D]now I [G]understand as [A]best I can
That she was [D]just a little [A]part
of God's [Bm]master plan
[D]And she [G]had a hand in making you a better man,
it's [F#]true
'Cause [G]if she hadn't broken my [A]heart,
I'd have never found [D]you[A][Bm][D]
[A]If [G]she hadn't broken my hea[A]rt,
I'd have never found [D]you[G]
[D]
