Verse-
Bm                      Bm    
Once I had a little girl, 
A                           A
Sometimes I think about her,
G              G         B(pick notes)
But,  you know she's not really there.
(Now play Main Riff and pick the notes)
Bm                   Bm
When memories do call, 
A                                    A
I just, I just can't live without her
G                      G
But tryin' all the time 
B
Is so hard to bear




Chorus- Main Riff (with adding the extra note every so often)

Bm            A
Heartbreaker, can't take her,
G             B
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.
Bm            A
Heartbreaker, can't take her,
G             B
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.



Verse 2-
                    Fill 1
I don't cry no more,
                      Fill 2 
I live while I'm flying,
                        Fill 3
But I'll think back, and you can hear me say:

Am                        G
Once I had a little girl, sometimes I think about her,

But, buddy, you know she's not really there.
Am                             G
When memories do call, I just, I just can't live without her
F                         Asus2       E
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear.

But I'll think back, and you can hear me say:
