Capo 1

     G                     D                 G
Just one more kiss, she'll have to miss this night with you
           G              C           D
Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too
           G                             C
You'll get used to telling lies, feeling sorry when she cries
             G                                                    D
Now that the strings are attached you'll catch on, we've done our part
       Em                 C      D      G      C  D
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart

Lesson number one, we've just begun to hurt her so
And with lesson two she'll long for you, when lights are low
And we get to lesson three when she gets down on her knees
And begs you to stop at the door just before she comes apart
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart


Bridge:
          C                                G
Now we've made a trail of tears for her to follow
          C                A7                  D
And we've thought of every line that she might swallow


And with lesson four there'll be no more for her to bear
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair
Then she'll find somebody new and he'll likely hurt her too
Cause there must be millions just like you and me practiced in the art
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart


       C                  D             G
Oh and this is the way we make a broken heart
      Em
Ay yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
C                  D             G
This is the way we make a broken heart
     Em
Ay yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
C                D                G                Em
This is the way, this is the way, this is the way, this is the way
   C                  D             G
Oh this is the way we make a broken heart
