Intro

Do-do-do down doobee-do-down-down comma-comma
Down doobee-do-down-down comma-comma
Down doobee-do-down-down, breaking up is
A D/B A*
hard to do

Verse 1

Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
B7 E7*
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Verse 2

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
B7 E7 A*
And breaking up is hard to do.

Bridge

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish
E7 E7*
that we were making up again.

Verse 3

I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start anew
B7 E7 A*
'Cause breaking up is hard to do.

Bridge
