(C) x 2 bars 
CFC I thought I saw the promise of for- ever in your eyes
GFC I thought that I was sure of what I saw
FC You led me to believe that I was special in your life
GFC So I left my heart wide open for the fall
FCGFC What a heartache you turned out to be
FC/E CC/EFCC/EF What a heart- ache, what a heart- ache
CAmGF Love ain't always what it ap- pears to be
FCGFC What a heartache you turned out to be
CFC I thought I'd found a safe and lovin' place inside your heart
GFC And I was warm and willing anytime
FC The same soft lips that kissed me sweet, we're lying from the start
GFC But I swear I thought your love was genuine
FCGFC What a heartache you turned out to be
 [Chorus]
FC/E CC/EFCC/EF What a heart- ache, what a heart- ache
CAmGF Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
CGFC Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
 (C/E)(F) / |(C)(C/E)(F) / |(C) / (Am)(G)|(F) --- 
AmGFC/E It just goes to show that you never can tell
G/DCG I really thought that I knew you well ---
CGAmGF I still can't believe I could be deceived so eas- i- ly
AmGFC Are all these wishes I'm wishing to my- self
C/EF Like rusty coins in a wishing well
CG Wishes come true, they come false as well
AmGF It's too late for you and me
CC/EFCC/EF Oh, what a heart- ache, ooo, what a heart break
CAmGF Love is two-faced and easy to believe
 [Chorus]
CC/EFCC/EF What a heart- ache, ooo, what a heart- ache
CAmGF What a mistake to think I could believe
CGFC Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
