(verse 1) D I worked myself to the bone, D Tired as a man can get, D It's the only way that I know Might help me to forget, D G D I lay me down And I pray my soul to keep, D Now it's two am and I should be sleeping like a log, D But I can't blame the poundin' rain, D Or the neighbor's barkin' dog, D G D It's what you do to me this heartache never sleeps,(verse 2) D Well like a ghost that haunts me, D Down at the end of my bed, D Your memory it taunts me and won't stay out of my head, D G D Till you come back it ain't never gonna leave, D So I might as well get out of this bed and put the coffee on, D Girl you know I'm not alone At the breakin of dawn, D G D Cause just like me this heartache never sleeps,G Yeah twentyfour hours of every day, D I can feel it down in my chest, G From the moment you walked away, A7 Well I ain't got no rest, D - G - A7 - G D It won't let me be, G A7 D This heartache never sleeps,G Yeah twentyfour hours of every day, D I can feel it down in my chest, G From the moment you walked away, A7 Well I ain't got no rest, D - G - A7 - G - D It won't let me be, G A7 D This heartache never sleeps, D - G - A7 - G - D Won't let me be, D - G - A7 - G - D Won't let me be, G A7 D This heartache never sleeps,
