Heartbreakdown Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Here's the thing about a heartbreak
C
It will happen all your life
Am
In the morning on your wedding day
D                 D7
In a tearful last goodbye
G
It might find you at the station
C
Sit beside you on the train
Am
Kiss you softly with intention
D                             D7
Leave you breathless from the pain
 
[Chorus]
       G
When a heart breaks down

When a heart breaks down
          C          G                      D
Won't you stand your ground and start again?

Will you find your way somehow to love again?
 
[Verse 2]
G
Lately she's been up 'til sunrise
C
Sleep is lost and can't be found
Am
It's not the water on the nightstand
D                            D7
It's not the book she can't put down
G
It's the echo of some bad news
C
And the doctors whisperin'
Am
It's the memory of a warm embrace
D                            D7
And the breath she's holding in
 
[Chorus]

When a heart breaks down
          C          G                      D
Won't you stand your ground and start again?
       G     C      G
When a heart breaks down
       C             Em
When a heart breaks down

[Verse 3]
G
There's beauty in the blessed heartbreak
C
There is life after the flood
Am
No one here has suffered through it
D                        D7
Without courage in their blood
G
Here's the thing about forgiveness
C
She's the child of love and hate
Am
And recognizing that you need her so
D                          D7
Will bring peace along the way
