Verse:
I was born by a fire in a cold dark cave
In the age of the dinosaur
When a caveman caught his cavewoman
Loving on the missing link next door
There was crying and screaming and
War drums beating and a wave of violence
None of them folks survived but me
And I've been hanging around ever since
Chorus:
A G
'Cause I'm a heartache never see me coming
D A
I'll always take you by surprise
A G
I'm a heartache hungry and hunting
D A
For someone I can eat alive
E D G
By the time you know I'm on you buddy it's too late
A G D
(When he sings "Heartache" share the word with those chords)
I'm a heartache
Verse: (Again, play the intro through the verse)
I watched you taking off tonight
And I knew where you were headed to
I saw that sweet young thing
You met at that dirty old motel room
I'm gnawing on your pretty little wife
Waiting up for you at home
And you don't even know it but I'm just saving you for later
When I can get you all alone
Chorus:
A G
'Cause I'm a heartache never see me coming
D A
I'll always take you by surprise
A G
I'm a heartache hungry and hunting

For someone I can eat alive

Don't strum this, but play around with the intro, just pickin'. It's the same
rythmn as the regular intro; just picking.
From Antony and Ceopatra
Samson and Delilah
To Jackie and JKK
Elvis and Priscilla
Charles and Diana
I'd say I've had some pretty good days
You may not believe it
But you and me son
We're about to have some real fun
'Cause I'm coming I'm coming...
-That's the acoustic part, I even threw in some electric for you
with that solo, but no more, hehe.
I would tab the ending, but, I don't have an electric.
