Bb   Dm    Dm Cm  Bb  Cm
Life lands a crushing blow
Cm         Eb  Eb      F  Bb
And once again a heart is broken
Bb          Dm Dm Cm  Bb  Cm
And as history repeats itself
Cm         Eb       Eb F  Bb
These few words are sadly spoken

[Chorus]
Bb   Dm     Dm   Cm  Bb Cm
I've passed this way before
    Cm   Eb   Eb        F  Bb
And I've felt this pain before
  Bb        Dm   Dm Cm   Bb Cm
A hurt that took so long to end
Cm  Eb      Eb         F Bb
Has found my poor heart again

[Verse 1]
Bb              Dm
As I watch love walking away
   Gm                   Eb  Eb F
It brings back old memories
    Bb                Dm
A familiar pain still feels the same
      Gm                      Eb  Eb  F
Once again heartache has found me
Bb           Dm
A dark cloud covered my heart
Gm                   Eb     Eb  F
Oh, when she told me goodbye
            Bb               Dm
Now there's nothing left but emptiness
        Gm                 G
And the tears that fill my crying eyes

[Chorus]
C    Em     Em   Dm  C Dm
I've passed this way before
    Dm   F     F   F    G C
And I've felt this pain before
C    Em     Em   Dm  C Dm
A hurt that took so long to end
Dm   F            F     G C
Has found my poor heart again

[Verse 2]
C                    Em
No matter how strong a man is
        Am                    F   G
Without love, he walks in the dark
C                               Em
If love deserts him it will surely hurt him
           Am                   F       G
Cos his weakness is his heart
C                               Em
A lonely journey now stands before me
Am                            F    G
The endless pain has started
C                               Em
But this time I know the way
Am                            F    G
Walking alone and broken-hearted
C
It so hard to face reality
G                                       Ab
Knowing loneliness is my destiny

[Chorus]

Because I've passed this way before

A hurt that took so long to end

Has found my poor heart again
