It's three in the morning on a Saturday night,
 E                                 D                   A                               E- 
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight,
 E                               D                                 A                     E 
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall,
                   E                         D                       A                 E- 
And that lone distant highway just echos the hall,
(verse 2)
                     E                     D                 A                         E 
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms,
         E                                 D                   A 
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon,
         E             D                           A                           E 
And nobody told her about none of these things,
         E                                         D                             A                         E 
And God only knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings,
           D                         A                             E- 
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
     D                         A                                 E- 
Away like some bird through the night,
                 D                 A                     E 
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
           D                       A                                Abm     F#m   E 
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
(verse 3)
 E                       D                             A                   E 
She grew up believing that wishes come true,
 E                           D                               A                             E- 
A knight on a white horse like some young girls do,
 E                                                 D                         A                           E 
So she married her the captain of the school football team,
 E                                     D                             A                 E- 
Just like she was supposed to as homecoming queen,
           D                         A                             E- 
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
     D                         A                                 E- 
Away like some bird through the night,
                 D                 A                     E 
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
           D                       A                                Abm     F#m   E 
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
              E-  D-  A-  E= 
(verse 4)
         E                             D                         A                       E 
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed,
           E                               D                             A                     E- 
The sounds of that highway still run through her head,
         E                     D                           A                             E 
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers,
         E                           D                             A         E- 
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care,
           D                         A                             E- 
If heartaches had wings she would fly,
     D                         A                                 E- 
Away like some bird through the night,
                 D                 A                     E 
It's a long long way from a young girl's dream,
           D                       A                                Abm     F#m   E 
And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings,
           D                         A                                Abm     F#m   E 
And God knows she leave there if heartaches had wings,
