Recipe for a heartache Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
What do you [D]say, let's just kind of keep the
spirit up with a little novelty tune called
A
Recipe for a
[G]Heartache.[C][C#dim][G][D][E][D]
[G]You take a little cheatin' [Em]here and a little cheat[G]in' there,
stay out late [A]with a [D]new day.
Have a [Bm]little cheer [D]with another round of beer,
that's the recipe for a [G]heartache.
Well, you tell the little gal you're with an old pal
who's celebrating his [A]new [D]namesake
It's not a new birth,
but a gal that's worth another chance on the heartache
[G]Well, an [C]old girlfriend happens in
your [F#]office without a [G]warning
The [A]good times start with an old sweetheart
and you [D]don't get home till morning
You can[G]'t deny your [Em]wife's [G]reply,
your lipstick isn't all [D]straight
You're [A]gonna hear a holler [D]about the [E]red on your [D]collar,
that's the recipe for [G]a heartache.[C][F#][G][A]
[D][G][D]
[G]Well you take a slow train
and not a jet plane
Because you want to go
on a full [D]moon
There's a gal you gotta see
in a part with me
And you really think that you
have pulled [G]a good one
Comin' [Em]home [G]from a trip,
your wife is her lips
Awaitin' at the door all [D]puckered
You got a real recipe for a heartache to be
If you call him fed all [G]tuckered
If your [C]wife is weary when you say deary
I [F#]gotta make a fast connec[G]tion
Assure [A]your pet that it's a jet
With [D]turbine fuel injection
You took
[G]Lorraine dow[Em]n the country lane
[G]Your wife caught [D]you in [Bb]the cane [D]break
You couldn't explain about raisin' cane
And that's the recipe [Bm]for a [G]heartache
So live [C]it up, don't give [C#dim]it up
If [G]misery's [F#]your[E] favorite cup
Then [A]lead this life, [D]lose [E]your wife
[D]That's the recipe for a hea[G]rtache
Well, there it is, friends.
Thank you very much.
