The Way We Make A Broken Heart
John Hiatt

C                          G                 C      
Just a one more kiss he'll have to miss this night with you
C                         F            G
Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too
C                          C7
You'll get used to telling lies
            F
And feeling sorry when he cries
             C                                   Am
Now that the strings arent attached he'll catch on
               G
We've done our part
B   Am                 F      G      C     F     G
Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart

C                 G                   C
Lesson number one we've just begun to hurt him so
C                   F                       G
And with lesson two he'll long for you when lights are low
C                    C7
And we get to lesson three
        F
When he gets down on his knees
                C           Am               
And begs you to stop at the door 
                      G
Just before he comes apart
B    Am                F       G      C
     This is the way we make a broken heart

BREAK ONE VERSE

BRIDGE:
F                                       C
Now we laid a trail of tears for him to follow
          F                D                  G
And we've thought of every line that he might swallow
 
C                    G                              C
And with lesson four there'll be no more for him to bear
C                      F                    G
And on some dark night we'll dim the lights on this affair
C                        C7
Then he'll find somebody new
           F
And she'll likely hurt him too
                     C                          E
'Cause there must be millions just like you and me
E                Am   F
Practiced in the art
F               C  G             C      Am
This is the way we make a broken heart
F               C  G             C
This is the way we make a broken heart
