[Intro] | G | [Verse]
   G                  C       D            G
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game

         C      D     G        D
I'd be a legend in my time   (link)

             G         C         D           G
If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets

         C      D     G
I'd be a legend in my time
[Middle 8]
         B7                             Em
But they don't give awards, and there's no praise or fame

    A7                         D              D7
For hearts that are broken for love that's in vain
[Verse]
         G                  C           D                 G
If loneliness meant world acclaim, everyone would know my name

         C      D     |  G | G7  |  
I'd be a legend in my time
[Verse] (spoken)
G              C            D                G

         C       D        G       D
I'd be a legend ... in my time  (link)

             G         C     D                   G
If they gave gold statuettes ... for tears and regrets

I'd be a legend in my time
