Comments:  I tried to write down Magnus' bass line as close as possible
to the recording and I indicated the implied chords for the progression
the first time through.  With its sweet-sounding arrangement turning sour only
in the end, "Heartbreaker" is another fine example of The Cardigans incredibly
listenable material.
