verse 1     C                  Dm       G7          C 
         If heartaches brought fame, in loves crazy game, 
                  F      G7    C     G7 
         I’d be a legend in my time. 
                      C         Dm         G7          C 
         If they gave gold statuettes, for tears and regrets,

         But they don’t, give awards, and there’s no praise or fame, 
               D                 D7           Dm             G7    
         For a heart that’s been broken, over love that’s in vain.  

verse 2           C                  F 
         If loneliness meant world acclaim,

         Everyone would know my name. 
             C7   F      G7    C 
         I’d be a legend in my time.
