Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took my old six-string, down by the creek,
Where the water whispers, and memories speak,
Played the chords of sorrow, under the stars,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.

[Verse 2]
We used to sit here, pickin' out tunes,
Beneath that big ol' Tennessee moon,
Now the silence echoes, deep in my scars,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.

[Chorus]
Oh the melodies fade, in the cool night air,
Every note a memory, 'round the bend somewhere,
Loneliness lingers, like smoke in a bar,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.

[Verse 3]
Lost in the rhythm, of days gone by,
Every strum a tear, falling from the sky,
Her voice, now a phantom, so near yet so far,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.

[Bridge]
In this symphony of heartache, I'm the only sound,
In this broken down town, where love ain't found,
Every pluck and pull, feels like a war,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.

[Verse 4]
So I'll keep on playin', through all the pain,
Hoping someday, the sunshine breaks the rain,
In every song of sorrow, I find who we are,
My heart breaks like the strings on a guitar.
