 A#            Dm7
He'll get you comin’ apart at the seams
         A#          F
When he calls you, "Baby"
               Dm7
He'll get you hangin' on every little stitch
          A#       F
That his lips are sayin’
     Dm7            A#      F
He's cool, too good to be true
                 Dm7
Looks so good on you
You gotta try him on
 A#        F
But don't cut the tags off if you take him home

Chorus:
      Dm7          A#
That velvet heartbreak
  F                                A#
Crush you like a fool on a Friday night
 Dm7                A#
Saturday morning mistake
 F
Pullin' all the wool over your eyes
        Dm
It's a love you and leave ya, double shot of tequila
 A#       F
Black mascara tears drippin' on ice
A#  Dm
So smooth, until it ain't
 A#   F            C#dim7 Dm7 A# F
That velvet heartbreak

It's like a dress in the store that
you can’t afford
But you gotta have it
It’s gonna be a discount rack, can't take it back
Waiting to happen
Yeah, it’s on you (Ooh), do what you wanna do
But just know what you're gettin' into (Ooh)
If you slip it on (Ooh, if you slip it on)
The new wears off and it won't take long

Chorus:
That velvet heartbreak
Crush you like a fool on a Friday night
Saturday mornin’ mistake
Pullin' the wool over your eyes
It's a love you and leave ya,
double shot of tequila
Black mascara tears drippin' on ice
So smooth, until it ain't
That velvet heartbreak

That heartbreak
It's that velvet heartbreak

Chorus:
Crush you like a fool on a Friday night
Saturday mornin' mistake
Pullin' the wool over your eyes
It's a love you and leave ya, double
shot of tequila
Black mascara tears drippin' on ice
So smooth, until it ain't
That velvet heartbreak

It's a love ya then a leave ya (Mm)
Double shot of a velvet heartbreak
Too good to be true, yeah
Smooth, 'til it ain't
It's a velvet heartbreak
