INTRO: 

CHORUS
Heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less, each day I love you
more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win
But
the day that I stop countin', that's the day my world will
end


Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I
could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you *come* back
again
You came back but never meant to stay

Yes, I've
got
CHORUS


'
Heartache number three was when
you called me
And said that you were comin' back to stay
With hopeful
heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost
your way

Yes, I've got
CHORUS




TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *come*: logic and English grammar dictate
that this should be "came",
as in the next line, but Mitchell clearly DOES
sing "come."
