Another original country song from my archives. This is an old tune I wrote back in 1986. The backing track is from my old "Circles of Heartache" home-made CD recorded in 1999. The song is called "The Heartache Hasn't Gone" and features my friends Carl Lane on Drums and the late Mike Hodgson on Bass. Hope you enjoy the song. Please share it with a friend.
Lyrics
The Heartache Hasn’t Gone. Copyright 1986, Tony L. Glenn

E                 Emaj7                       Dbm                         Dbm    B

Yesterday I saw your car parked outside on the street

    A              E       A         B

I ducked into a bar and grill and took a window seat.

E                       Emaj7      Dbm      Dbm, B

Drank a cup of coffee as I watched the city sky

A                    E                 A           B

Thinkin’ ‘bout the times we shared and how we said goodbye

E                        Emaj7        Dbm              Dbm, B

I waited for you patiently to see if you would show

   A                             E                         A          B

I thought there might be something left—a seed that still might grow

G#m                      A               G#m               Dbm

I know it’s been a year or more—we parted best of friends

            A          E                          F#m           B

But I’d like to think there might be hope of loving you again.

            A                  E                     Dbm                   B

Cause you did what you had to do, and life for me went on

        F#m             G#m            A             B        E

But deep inside I long for you, the heartache hasn’t gone.

   E                     Emaj7                Dbm                         Dbm,  B

I sat three hours looking on, and watching passers by

     A                      E   A          B

A couple strolled up hand-in-hand, a tear welled in my eye.

   E                       Emaj7                                Dbm                     Dbm, B

I sat there fifteen minutes more, I dropped a dollar on the plate

  A                         E      A                B

I thought it might not be your car—an innocent mistake.

   E                       Emaj7         Dbm                              Dbm,  B

I stepped into the city night, I breathed the heavy air,

    A                           E          A B

I crossed the four-lane dodging cars, and then I saw you there.

   G#m                     A         G#m                  Dbm

I saw him kiss you tenderly, you touched his face and smiled

      A               E         F#m          B

He got into the car with you, you held him for a while

   A                       E                     Dbm         B

I turned around and walked away, feeling so alone

         F#m               G#m      A             B        E

And contemplating what I’d lost—the heartache has’nt gone.

         F#m             G#m    A             B         E

Yes, deep inside I love you still—the heartache hasn’t gone.
