TITLE: The Breakup Song
Lyrics and Chords


We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor / uh uh...
And then the band slowed the tempo when the music took me down / ...
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound / ...

/ Am - F - / G - Am - /  :

{Refrain}
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore

/ F - C - G - Dm - / /

We been living together for a million years / ...
But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres / ...
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know / ...
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow / ...

{Refrain}

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass / ...
'Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past / ...

{Refrain to fade}
