E            G            A        E
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night
                G           A               E
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight
               G                  A           E  
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall
                      G            A         E   
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall
                   D         A             E   
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms
              D                 A          E 
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon
           D              A             E     
And nobody told her about none of these things
              D                    A              E
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings

[Chorus]
   D            A               E      
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D              A                E 
Away like some bird through the night
      D          A          E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
    D            A           D             A   E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings

[Verse 2]
    E       G              A           E
She grew up believing that wishes come true
              G           A                     E
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do
                       D              A               E  
So she married her the captain of the school football team
                   D            A          E  
Just like she was 'sposed to as homecoming queen

[Chorus]
   D              A               E      
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D              A                E 
Away like some bird through the night
      D          A          E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
    D            A           D             A   E
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings

[Verse 3]
    E             G              A            E
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
                  G             A                E
The sound of that highway still runS through her head
               D            A              E  
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
                 D              A      E 
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care

[Chorus]
   D              A               E      
If heartaches had wings she would fly
D              A                E 
Away like some bird through the night
       D         A          E
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream
    D               A           D                 E  D  A
And God knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings 
D                 E D    A     E 
If heartaches had wings
