[Intro] G [Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love

       Em                C               D
For he thinks he is the one she dreams of

        Am
But her bed was made elsewhere

          C
From the first day she got there

        G               D               C    D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

D                        C             G
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me

           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys she has gone since moring came

       Em             C           D
She gave so much that only love remains

     Am
Her lover is long gone

         C
With the money she sent on

        G               D               C    D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

D                        C             G
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me, It could have been me

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Bridge]
            Em              D             C
That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime

            G                   D               C
That broken heart will try your love like none before

         Am               C
You may fight or you may run

             Em             D
For what was fast is now undone

         C                    D               Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

         C                    D                G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Break] G C D (slide up the C) [Verse]
G
Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze

       Em             C           D
Filled with promises and spirits that we raise

        Am
But the spirits all are ghosts

       C
Of the ones we hurt the most

        G               D               C    D
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out

D                        C             G
And they wander thirteen valleys crying
[Chorus]
                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me

           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

                   D                      Em
It could have been me, It could have been me

           C                   D              Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

           C                   D              G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
