CAPO 4
VERSE 1:
EGAE
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night
GAE
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight
GAE
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall
GAE
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall
DAE
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms
DAE
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon
DAE
And nobody told her about none of these things
DAE
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
CHORUS:
DAE
If heartaches had wings she would fly
DAE
Away like some bird through the night
DAE
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
DADAE
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings
VERSE 2:
EGAE
She grew up believing that wishes come true
GAE
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do
DAE
So she married her the captain of the school football team
DAE
Just like she was 'sposed to as homecoming queen
CHORUS:
DAE
If heartaches had wings she would fly
DAE
Away like some bird through the night
DAE
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
DADAE
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings
VERSE 3:
EGAE
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
GAE
The sound of that highway still runS through her head
DAE
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
DAE
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care
CHORUS:
DAE
If heartaches had wings she would fly
DAE
Away like some bird through the night
DAE
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
DADEDA
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
DEDE
If heartaches had wings
