Chorus:
G                                    Am
How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker?
G
I didn't know, I couldn't know, now I'm laying on
this killing floor and
Am
I wanna die, listen...

G                                 Am
How was I supposed to know was it by your sweet
face or your eyes? Oh, Lord
G                                            Am
How was I supposed to know you'd give me my heart
aching?

G                                Am
Mama couldn't tell me about the feeling
    G                           Am
Oh, and all them love sick songs... Well, they got
true meaning
     G                                Am
Oh why, why did you have to slice me wide, babe?
Bm                                          Am
How was I supposed to know you'd give me my first
heart aching?

Chorus:
How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker?
Oh I didn't know, I didn't know
Now, I'm on this killing floor and I wanna die

Who ever said that we two were never meant?
I'll tell you how I know you're wrong,
I'd fight you all
I know the way things are, I'd fight the planets
Why, why did you have to slice so wide, baby?
How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker?

Chorus:
Oh, how was I supposed to know you was
a heartbreaker?
Oh, oh, I didn't know, I didn't know
Why you gotta go and kill me so that I wanna die
Oh, "I wanted to grow old with you", you told me so
But then, you go
How was I supposed to know?
