Intro: Asus2 F Asus2 F Asus2 It's a dangerous world we live in G Crime is everywhere F Asus2 There's always some sad story going down You can read it in the paper G You can see it on the air F G It's an evil epidemic going 'round C But nobody seems to notice Am The saddest crime of all F Oh, just how many times a day G Someone takes their love away C And the national statistics Am Never put it in the chart F G Asus2 F But every second someone breaks a heart Asus2 There's a woman out there somewhere G Who feels she lost her life F Asus2 But her man just shot her world down and it hurts There's a guy who just got taken G And it cuts him like a knife F G Some girl stole his heart and left him without a world C They don't call it a crime of passion Am But it kills you all the same F It's murder when a true love dies G Right before your very eyes C And as soon as one is over Am Another one will start F G Asus2 Every second someone breaks, someone breaks a heart Instrumental: C Am F G C Am F G Asus2 If you've got someone who loves you G Be careful all the time F Asus2 Do you know where your love is tonight (if you love somebody) 'Cause there's always someone trying G To find the perfect crime F G And you never know just when they'll strike C So you better watch your woman Am And you better watch your man F 'Cause no one's safe when love's at stake G Anybody's heart can break C And the next time that it happens Am You're not the losing part F G Asus2 Every second someone breaks a heart F G Asus2 Every second someone breaks a heart F G Asus2 Every second someone breaks a heart
