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

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

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

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

Every second someone breaks a heart
