Pretty simple song. I'm pretty sure it was co-written with Daniel Johnston.
G D Em Why must happy hearts break so hard Am C D leave you curled up in the back seat of a car, Em C Am7 staring up at the windshield? G D G When will broken hearts learn how to heal? G D Em This boy I knew was five years older than me Am C D His daddy'd left him when he was three. Em C Am7 After we went walking by a stream, G C D he held me down and made me feel as bad as he. G D Em Why must happy hearts break so hard, Am C D leave you standing in the darkness of the barn, Em C Am7 staring at those rusty wheels? G D G When will broken hearts learn how to heal? C G D Em And everybody's searching for a place to put their love. C G See the people on the street? D They go home and what do you think they dream of?
C G D Em
U-n-C-o-n-D-i-t-i-o-n-A-l l-o-v-E.
G D Why did you leave me? G D Em Mother, why do you sleep with him? Am C D He says he's smothering, then he comes back again, E C Am7 in our house for the weekend. G D G Why must people's breaking hearts pretend? G D Em Why must happy hearts break so hard, Am C D leave you staring in the mirror at a bar? Em C Am7 Leave you talking to yourself, G D G because you can't talk to anybody else
