[Intro]
Hot amp heartbreak
Burning through the wire
Hot amp heartbreak
Turn my pain to fire

[Verse]
The room was packed past the emergency door
Boots on tables, sweat on the floor
I had a fever and a cracked red lip
But I held that mic in a death-grip

My heart was a motel with the lights torn out
My name was a rumor in a drunk man’s mouth
But the band hit hard and the first note came
I threw my sorrow into the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
Every wound had rhythm
Every tear had tone
I was never more alive
Than when I stood alone

[Chorus]
Hot amp heartbreak
Turn it up louder
Hot amp heartbreak
Make it burn prouder
If love goes wrong
Let the guitars ache
I’ll sing all night
With a hot amp heartbreak

[Verse]
I saw him standing by the backstage stairs
With a sorry face and his midnight hair
He mouthed my name like an old regret
I sang the chorus and made him forget

The crowd rose up like a dirty sea
Every broken soul screaming back at me
By the final verse I could barely stand
But the whole damn Strip was in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Every wound had rhythm
Every tear had tone
I was never more alive
Than when I stood alone

[Chorus]
Hot amp heartbreak
Turn it up louder
Hot amp heartbreak
Make it burn prouder
If love goes wrong
Let the guitars ache
I’ll sing all night
With a hot amp heartbreak

[Instrumental]
Long blues guitar solo
Crowd claps and shouts
Drums build from the floor
Feedback cries and bends

[Bridge]
Pain ain’t pretty
Pain ain’t clean
Pain ain’t something
For a magazine

Pain is a wire
Pain is a spark
Pain is a stage light
Cutting through dark

[Breakdown]
Turn it up
Let it hurt
Let it shake
Let it work

[Build-up]
One more song
One more scream
One more shot
At the dream
One more scar
One more take
Hot amp heartbreak

[Chorus]
Hot amp heartbreak
Turn it up louder
Hot amp heartbreak
Make it burn prouder
If love goes wrong
Let the guitars ache
I’ll sing all night
With a hot amp heartbreak

[Chorus]
Hot amp heartbreak
Hear the whole town calling
Hot amp heartbreak
I rise while I’m falling
If love goes wrong
Let the guitars ache
I’ll sing all night
With a hot amp heartbreak

[Outro]
Hot amp heartbreak
Burning through the wire
Hot amp heartbreak
Turn my pain to fire
