G   C


[Verse 1]
C                                        F
They just don't know how lost I feel without you
   G7                               C
My teardrops never see the light of day
                                      F
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
    G7                                    C
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say


[Chorus]
                              F
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
           G7                     C
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
                              F
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
      G7                          C
And I better say goodbye before I cry


[Solo]

[Verse 2]
  C                                      F
I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
  G7                         C
I live a lie in all I do and say
                                   F
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow
    G7                              C
But if I told the truth I'd have to say


[Chorus]
                              F
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
           G7                     C
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
                              F
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
      G7                          C    G  C
And I better say goodbye before I cry
