D       A     Em     Em/F#  G 
On your mark, ready, set destruction 
  D               Bm             A 
A life sized reproduction of the past 
D              A         Em    Em/F# G  
You ducked the charge of emotional abduction 
D         Bm              A 
Under the assumption that nothing ever lasts 
   Em  
So forgive me if I’m wrong 
        G                               D 
But the path you walked along to get to me 
       A                      Em 
Is the one you used to leave, I have learned 
    G                              A  
The sun is not the only thing that burns 
 
Chorus: 
D                                   A 
If you’re gonna break my heart this time 
                Bm 
Treat it like a crime 
             G 
Do it like a thief 
             D 
Quiet and discreet 
                A  
Don’t throw me away 
                     Bm 
In the middle of the day 
                         G 
If you’re gonna break my heart 
                            D 
You gotta do it in the dark 
 
When you left, it looked like a train wreck 
Everybody stopped and looked around 
They saw me losing blood and steam 
Tearing at the seams but I never made a sound 
So I took it in the chest 
You hit me with a left and then the right 
When did you learn how to fight, it was murder in the first 
And you never even asked me if it hurt 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
Em                Em/F#       G 
This time I’m not playing the fool 
Em           Em/F# 
I was tested by the best 
         G                  A 
And I’ve learned a thing or two
