[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D](Travis Tritt Charlie Daniels)
They'd been high school [Dm]sweet
hearts [D]since they were just fifteen
A storybook begin[Dm]ning with the
wedding of [G]their [D]dreams
Con[G]sumed by his ambition
he soon left her [D]at home
With a promise and an empty [Dm]house
and too much [G]time [D]alone

[Verse 2]
[D]
Her boredom turned to drinking
and [C]drinking [G]turned [D]to lies
And he let her get too far [Dm]gone
be[C]fore he [G]real[D]ized
[Dm]And you woul[G]dn't recognize them if
[F]you'd known them [Em]way back [D]when
'Cause now the flame of love's
burned out and [C]can't be [G]lit [Dm]again
[D]And it's the same old

[Verse 3]
[G]story
[F]You've heard a [C]thousand
[D]times
Somebody's trust gets [A]broken
Somebody's left be[D]hind
You try walking [G]a tightrope
[F]But [C]it's all up[D]hill
And if the fall don't [A]kill you
[C]Lord the hea[G]rtbreak wil[D]l[C]
[G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Two more childhood sweethearts
in a [C]small town [G]far [D]away
Committed to each other [Dm]since be
[C]fore their [G]wedding [D]day
[G]This will last forever that's
[F]what the whole [C]town [D]said
But there are some temptations that can
[C]turn a good [G]man's [D]head

[Verse 5]
[D]She was unexpeced when she
[C]came [G]home [D]from town
She never even noticed all the
[C]window shades [G]pulled [D]down
And [G]though he begged forgiveness
she turned and [Em]ran a[D]way
With the image of betrayal
that time [C]just [G]can't [Dm]erase
[D]And it's the same old

[Verse 6]
[G]story
You've heard a [Em]thousand
[D]times
Somebody's trust gets [A]broken
Somebody's [Am]left be[Dm]hind
[D]You try walking [G]a tightrope
[F]But [Em]it's all up[D]hill
And if the fall don't [A]kill you
[C]Lord the hea[G]rtbreak wil[D]l

[Verse 7]
[G]And it's a sad old benediction
to a [D]wasted slice of life
[Dm]And there's an o[G]verwhelming
price you've got [D]to pay[Dm]
It's a [G]losin' proposition and
it cut[Dm]s just lik[D]e a knife
You [G]can't expect the hurt
to go [A]away

[Verse 8]
And it's the same old [G]story
[F]You've heard a [C]thousand
[D]times
Somebody's trust gets [A]broken
Somebody's [Am]left be[Dm]hind
You try walking [G]a tightrope
[F]But [C]it's all up[D]hill
And if the fall don't [A]kill you
[C]Lord the hea[G]rtbreak wil[D]l

[Verse 9]
And if the fall don't [A]kill you
[C]Lord the hea[G]rtbreak wil[D]l[C]
[G]Oh yeah
[D][C][G][D][C][G][D]
