Performed by Frank Sinatra

I wan-na be a-round to pick up the piec-es 
-6    7    -4 5   -5    7     -6
when some-bod-y breaks your heart,
-7    7    -4 5  -5   7    -6  -7 6
Some some-bod-y twice as smart as I.
-7 -7   -7-7 -7   -6   -7   -6 -7  -6
A some-bod-y who will swear to be true 
5     6   -5  6  -5  6   -6
like you used to do with me,
-7       7    7   7    7   -6
Who'll leave you to learn that 
7   -7    7   -7   -6-8   6    6  -88
Mis-‘ry loves com-pan-y, wait and see.

I wan-na be a-round to see how he does it 
-6   7    -4    5    -5    7  -6
when he breaks your heart to bits,
-7     7  -4  5   -5  7   -6   -7  8
Let's see if the puz-zle fits, so fine,
5    -7     -7   -6   -6  6   6
And that's when I'll dis-cov-er 
5     5   7   -6   6
that re-venge is sweet,
-6 8  8   -8   -8   7    7
As I sit there ap-plaud-ing 
-6  -6   8    -8  7
from a front row seat,
-6    -4   5 -5   -6    7    -8
When some-bod-y breaks your heart 
8     -9   8    7
like you broke mine.
-7     -7   -6   -6  6   6
That's when I'll dis-cov-er 
5     5   7   -6   6
that re-venge is sweet,
-6 8  8   -8   -8   7    7
As I sit there ap-plaud-ing 
-6  -6   8    -8  7
from a front row seat,
-6    -4   5 -5   -6    7    -8
When some-bod-y breaks your heart 
8     -9   8    7
like you broke mine,
8     -9   8    -9   8    7
Like you, like you broke mine
