[Intro] A A A A [Verse 1]
A                       Asus4            A
Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love

       F#m              D                   E
For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of

        Bm                              D
But her bed was made elsewhere from the first day she got there

       A                E              D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

       E                D              A
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
[Chorus]
Asus4              Esus4   E
It could have been me

                      F#m7
I said, It could have been me

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Verse 2]
         A
Thirteen valleys she has gone since morning came

         F#m               D           E
Well she gave so much that only love remains

        Bm                          D
But her lover is long gone with the money she sent on

        A                E              D
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

        E                D              A
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out
[Chorus]
Asus4              Esus4   E
It could have been me

                      F#m7
I said, It could have been me

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Chorus 2]
     F#m7                 Esus2   Dsus2
That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime

            F#m7                Esus2          Dsus2
That broken heart will try your love like none before

            F#m              Dsus2        F#m         Esus2
And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone

               Dsus2         Esus2           F#m
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Esus2          Dsus2         Esus2           A
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze

            F#m          D               E
Filled with promises and spirits that we raised

        Bm                            D
But the spirits all are ghosts of the ones we hurt the most

         A               E              D
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out

         E               D              A
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
[Chorus]
Asus4              Esus4   E
It could have been me

                      F#m7
I said, It could have been me

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

              Esus4   E
It could have been me

                      F#m7
I said, It could have been me

         D                   Esus4  E        F#m7
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
[Chorus 2]
     F#m7                 Esus2   Dsus2
That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime

            F#m7                Esus2          Dsus2
That broken heart will try your love like none before

            F#m              Dsus2        F#m         Esus2
And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone

               Dsus2         Esus2           F#m
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Esus2          Dsus2         Esus2           A
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
