THIS HEARTACHE NEVER SLEEPS     Mark Chesnutt
E
I worked myself to the bone   Tired as a man can get
E                                
It's the only way that I know Might help me to forget
E         A                          E
I lay me down And I pray my soul to keep
E
Now it's 2 am and I should be sleeping like a log
E
But I can't blame the poundin' rain
E
Or the neighbor's barkin' dog
E             A                               E 
It's what you do to me this heartache never sleeps

CHORUS:
        A
Yeah twenty-four hours of every day
       E
I can feel it down in my chest
A
From the moment you walked away
     B7     
Well I ain't got no rest
                E A B7   A   E
It won't let me be-eee-eeeee-e
        A       B7      E   
This heartache never sleeps

E
Well like a ghost that haunts me Down at the end of my bed
E
Your memory it taunts me and won't stay out of my head
E               A                         E
Till you come back it ain't never gonna leave
E
So I might as well get out of this bed and put the coffee on
E
Girl you know I'm not alone  At the breakin' of dawn
E               A                         E
Cause just like me this heartache never sleeps

Go to chorus

ENDING:

Vamping on  E A B7 A E (listen to recording for timing)
Won't let me be
Won't let me be
This heartache never sleeps
