Intro : E E D E A A 

                        E 
 I lost another one and only 
                            A 
 But I'll move on and do my best 
                                    E 
 You'll find me where it's sad and lonely 
                          A 
 In case you need my new address 
         D            E          (break) 
 I'll be here at 1313 Heartbreak Avenue 
               D    E           A 
 * Hello Cruel World  I'm movin' in 
               D    E               A 
   Hello Cruel World  my new best friend 
                 E                   A  
   Where love is tough and times are hard 
               D    E                A 
   Hello cruel World  good-bye sweetheart 
                            E 
 I'll be real lucky if I make it 
                            A  
 Your memory still tears me apart 
                      E 
 The only way I can escape it 
                              A 
 Is down the trail of broken hearts 
         D                 
 It's a lonesome stretch of highway 
   E                  
 A long long way from home 
 
 2 times 
               E                     A 
   Hello Cruel World  good-bye sweetheart
