Only Love Can Break Your Heart

Words & Music:

Neil Young

 

G7            C         F       G 

When you were young and on your own

G7         C       F   G      G7

How did it feel to be alone?

CM7                      F

I was always thinking of games that I was playing.

CM7                           G

Trying to make the best of my time

 

CHORUS:

G7       FM7                 G

But only love can break your heart.

          FM7                 G

Try to be sure right from the start.

G7        FM7                 G

Yes, only love can break your heart.

             FM7                G

What if your world should fall apart?

 

I have a friend I've never seen.

He hides his head inside a dream.

Someone should call him and see if he can come out;

Try to lose the down that he's found

 

CHORUS:

 

I have a friend I've never seen.

He hides his head inside a dream.

Someone should call him and see if he can come out;

Try to lose the down that he's found

 

G7        C        F          G

Yes, only love can break your heart [x4]
