verse 1 
    Am            C      D            E 
You were the only boy to ever have my heart 
  Am                                    F                E 
I thought you’d treat it gently, like a precious work of art 
  Am       C              D            F 
I never realized it could break so easily 
                                       E              Am 
And I never knew the pieces would work better separately 

 
          G         F           E 
One love, two love, three love, four 
Am        G          F           E 
Who is it now that’s walking the floor 
Am                G       F           E 
Sorry, don’t have time to call you anymore 
                Am 
‘Cause when you broke my heart, you broke it in four____

verse 2 
              Am            C        D              E 
Now there's a quarter of my heart in Memphis, Tennessee 
        Am                  F              E 
And two boys back in 'Bama, two and number three 
Am               C           D                F 
Number four from Texas, says I’m his queen of queens 
                                     E             Am 
Oh, the pieces of my heart sure look good in faded jeans 

 
          G         F           E 
One love, two love, three love, four 
Am        G          F           E 
Who is it now that’s walking the floor 
Am                G       F           E 
Sorry, don’t have time to call you anymore 
                Am 
‘Cause when you broke my heart, you broke it in four____

verse 3 
                              C        D                E 
Now there are still a few old boys who wouldn’t feel so bad 
           Am                            F              E 
If I could give them just a piece of the heart you once had 
    Am                 C             D          F 
Someday I’ll marry one boy and we'll never ever part 
                                      E            Am 
But he’s got to claim all four of the pieces of my heart 

 
          G         F           E 
One love, two love, three love, four 
Am              G     F       E 
See them lining up outside my door 
      Am      G         F             E 
All positions filled, I can’t take anymore 
                Am 
‘Cause when you broke my heart, you broke it in four____ 

          G         F           E 
One love, two love, three love, four 
Am        G          F           E 
Who is it now that’s walking the floor 
Am                G       F           E 
Sorry, don’t have time to call you anymore 
                Am                               N.C. 
‘Cause when you broke my heart, you broke it in - four____
