C F G7 C F G7 C F C G7

   C                  F
If heartaches brought fame
   G7           C
In love’s crazy game
         F      G7    C    F C G7
I’d be a legend in my time.


             C          F
If they gave gold statuettes
    G7           C
For tears and regrets
         F      G7    C    F C
I’d be a legend in my time.


         E           E7
But they don’t give awards
            A            A7
And there’s no praise or fame
      D                 D7
For a heart that’s been broken
     G           G7
Over love and in vain.


         C                  F
If loneliness meant world acclaim
          G7                C
Then everyone would know my name
         F      G7    C    F C G7
I’d be a legend in my time.
