[Intro]
| C | % | Am | % | G | % | Dm | G |
 
[Verse 1]
C
You act like you were just born tonight
     Am
Face down in a memory but feelin' all right
   G
So who does your past belong to today?
      Am                                G
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
 
[Verse 2]
    C
The girls in the bars thinking, "Who is this guy?"
    Am
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
G
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
               Am                               G
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
 
[Chorus]
F                               Em
Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
Am                     F
See what else your old heart can take
F                           Dm
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
    Am                         G
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."
 
[Instrumental]
| F | Em | Am | F | % | Dm | Am | G |
 
[Verse 3]
C
Everybody's talkin' but you don't hear a thing
       Am
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
G
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
      Am                     G
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
 
[Verse 4]
        C
There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
                Am
Just say you're lookin' for somethin' you might've forgot
G
Don't bother callin' to say you're leavin' alone
                 Am                               G
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're tryin' to get home
 
[Chorus]
F                                Em
Tell 'em you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
Am                     F
See what else your old heart can take
F                           Dm
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
    Am                         G
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."
 
[Chorus]
F                               Em
Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven-year ache
Am                     F
See what else your old heart can take
F                           Dm
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room?"
    Am                         G
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon."

Just watched a video of this from Austin City Limits where they play this with a capo on 4. So same chords but different fingering.

There is, I think, a minor change in the lyrics. Where you have "splitting your dice..." I think it is: There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not. Just say you're looking ......etc.
