[Intro]
C  G  G  C F  C

[Verse 1]
C               G
She told me she loved me
                  C  F C
'Bout ten times a day
                        G
She said that she would die
                C
If I ever went away.
                 F
Then I got this letter
                C
Cut just like a knife
                      G
Said, "I met somebody else
                          C    F C
Why don't you have a nice life"

[Chorus 1]
C                       F
Love should come with a warning
(Love should come with a warning)
                         C
'Cause it can break your heart
(uu-uu-uu)
                        G
One minute that you're falling
                            C     C7
Next minute you're falling apart
                        F
Love should come with a warning
(Love should come with a warning)
             C   Am
And a dangеr sign
                    D
Won't somebody help me
G                  C    F  C
Mеnd this heart of mine

[Verse 2]
C                   G
She was smoking and drinking
                        C
And I just can't get to sleep
                     G
Man, she's a better actress
           C      C7
Than Meryl Streep
                          F
I should see her right up there
                 C
On the silver screen
                G
I'm telling you now
                  C     F C
She'd steal every scene

C                       F
Love should come with a warning
(Love should come with a warning)
                  C
It can break your heart
                              G
One minute, one minute you're falling
                             C     C7
And your next you're falling apart
                        F
Love should come with a warning
(Love should come with a warning)
             C    Am
And a danger sign
                    D
Won't somebody help me, help me
G                  C
Mend this heart of mine,
one more time.
                          F
Love should come with a warning
(Love should come with a warning)
             C    Am
And a danger sign
                    D        G
Won't somebody help me, help me
G                  C   F C
Mend this heart of mine
