Heartbreak in Silhouette

By Jim Reeves

C                    G7       F                   C

I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met

   G7                 C      F             C

In memory I could see her heartbreak in silhouette

                     G7         F            C

He said her hair was golden her eyes were violet

   G7               C      F             C

It surely had to be her heartbreak in silhouette

                     G7         F                    C

He said that when he kissed her her kisses were like wine

    G7         C           G7          F              G7

And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine

C                  G7          F             C

But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette

   G7                C        G7               C

His heart would soon discover heartbreak in silhouette

                     G7      F                      C

With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met

   G7                   C        F            C

My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in silhouette

                      G7        F             C

Outside the rain kept falling recalling old regrets

G7                   C           F            C

Then she stood in the doorway heartbreak in silhouette

                    G7      F                      C

At first she didn't see us because the lights were dim

   G7                       C    F                     G7

As she chatted with her new love she had eyes for only him

   C                        G7          F                C

My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said

    G7                 C           F            C

Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in Silhouette

     F           C
