Gb Ebm7
They used to say that boys are tough as nails
F7 Bbm Ab
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail
Ebm F7
Now things have changed, I feel so old
Bb/D Eb Ab Db
Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals
Gb Ebm7
I was always there in the thick of things
F7 Bbm Ab
I always had the heart of every woman on a string
Ebm F7
The danger zone shone from my eyes
Bb/D Eb Ab Db
It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile
A/G
D D+
It's not the night reaching in and touching me
G Gm
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
D B7
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me
Em7 A7 A7sus4
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
A7 D D+
It's not the light shining in and catching me
G Gm
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
D B7
But time has come and cast a spell on me
Em7 Em7/A A7 D
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
Gb Ebm7
And now I know what lonely means
F Bbm Ab
I used to give so little and gain everything
Ebm F7
The darkest part of every day
Bb/D Eb Ab Db
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away
Gb Ebm7
Can't say I blame them all for being hurt
F Bbm Ab
After all, I treated each and every one like dirt
Ebm F7
Who wants a heart that's never home?
Bb/D Eb Ab Db
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone
A/G
D D+
It's not the night reaching in and touching me
G Gm
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
D B7
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me
Em7 A7 A7sus4
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
A7 D D+
It's not the light shining in and catching me
G Gm
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
D B7
But time has come and cast a spell on me
Em7
And breaking hearts
Gb7
Breaking hearts
Bm
Breaking hearts
E7 Em7
Breaking hearts
A7 D
Ain't what it used to be
Breaking Hearts Aint What It Used To Be chords
