C#                     F#  Fm D#m G#7
After he, breaks your heart
                C#
Then you'll be sad
           F#   Fm D#m G#7
And your teardrops start
A#m              Fm
Then you'll know how
   G#7           A#m
It hurts to be alone

Just because you think that you're so smart
Going around breaking lover's hearts
Now you're defeated
By your own weapon

After he, breaks your heart
Then you'll be sad
And your teardrops start
Then you'll know now
It hurts to be alone
