E
The crowd had gathered 
                    B                              E
They heard the word that pretty soon I'd be losing her
E
They stood in line just to see
B                               E
The work that she would make of me
A
They held their breath  whispered low
B
Waiting for that final blow
A
They called her  name she was picked to win
B
As we walked out into the ring

[Chorus]
       E                         A
In the first round  she broke my heart
       E                          B
In the second round  she tore it  apart
       E                          A
In the third round  I was  on the ropes
       E                            B
In the forth round I didn't have a hope
B
The thing she said in the final bout
A                  B
Laid me low really knocked me out
B
She waved to the  crowd without a scratch
    A                            B     E
The heartache  champion of this love match
E   B    E              B
Mmm love match    mmmm  love match
E
They called for blood and  wanted  more
B                            E
They picked me up off of the floor
E
My head  was spinning

[Verse]
I staggered round
B                             E
I couldn't  stand for falling down
A
The lights were dimmed I heard them say
B
You can't make it anyway
A
I was game  I climbed back in 
B                         E
I tried to  win her back again
E                              A
In the first round she hurt me bad
       E                              B
In the second round I couldn't handle that
        E                     A
In the third  round I almost died
       E                                  B
In the forth round I saw that look in her eyes 
B
I knew right then how it would be
A                      B
She turned and  walked away from me

I shouted fair and square there ain't no catch
          A                          B    E 
She's the heartache champion  of the love match
     B    E             B
Mmm love match    mmmm  love match

[Verse]
A
They held their breath  whispered low

     B    E             B    E
Mmm love match    mmmm  love match
