Breaking up is 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

'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

C#7 F#7 B [N.C.]

And breaking up is hard to do

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

G F# [N.C.]

Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 2]:

I beg of you, don't say goodbye

Can't we give our love another try

Come on baby, let's start anew

'Cause breaking up is hard to do
