			  Only A Broken Heart
		    (Tom Petty, from "Wildflowers")

(90-100 beats per minute, varying)

Intro: Am7  Dm  G  C (twice)

Am7             Dm
Here comes that feeling
G            C
I've seen in your eyes
Am7         Dm
Back in the old days
G          C
before the hard times

    E7      Am     Am7/G  D/F#
But I'm not afraid anymore
C           G      C
it's only a broken heart

Am7        Dm
I know the place where
G             C
you keep your secrets
Am7        Dm
out of the sunshine
G         C
down in a valley

    E7      Am     Am7/G  D/F#
but I'm not afraid anymore
C           G      C
it's only a broken heart

Bb          Am
what would I give
Bb                 Am
to start all over again
Bb          Am    G  (Gsus4 G)
to clean up my mistakes


stand in the moonlight
stand under heaven
wait for an answer
hold out forever

but don't be afraid anymore
it's only a broken heart

what would I give 
to start all over again
to clean up my mistakes

I know your weakness
you've seen my dark side
the end of the rainbow
is always a long ride

but don't be afraid anymore
it's only a broken heart
it's only a broken heart

(12-string solo on verse)
