You tell me that you're leav-ing
4  -5*  4    4   -3*   4
I can't be-lieve it's true,
-3      -3     -3  -3  -3  -1  -2   -3  3
Girl, there's just no liv-ing with-out you
4      4     4    4  4  4   -5 -3*
Don't take your love a-way from me
4      4    4    4   4   4   6  5 -3*
Don't you leave my heart in mis-er-y
-3   -3 -3  -3   -3  -3  -3
'If you go then I'll be blue
-3     -3 -3 -3  -2  -5 5
Break-ing up is hard to do

5   5   5   5    5   5   -5  -3*
Re-mem-ber when you held me tight
5    5    5     5  5    -6     5   -3*
And you kissed me all through the night
-3    -3  -3  -3   -3     3     -2
Think of all that we've been through
-3     -3  3  3  -2  2-1 -2
Break-ing up is hard to  do

1     -2  3     3*  -3* 4 -3*  4   4 -3*
They say that break-ing up is hard to do
-3* 4   3 -1  -3*  -3*   4  -3*
Now I know I know that it's true
-3*   -3*-2* 3*  -3* 4* -3*  3* 
Don't  say that this is the end
-2   -2  -2  -2*   3  3*
In-stead of break-ing up 
3* -3  -3*  4   4   -3*  -3 -3 -3  3
I wish that we were mak-ing up a-gain

4 6-5  5  5    5    -6   5  -3*4     
I beg of you, don't say good-bye
4      4   4   4    4  4   4   -3* -3*
Can't we give our love a brand new try?
-33-2  -3  -3 -33-2  -3    -3   3  -2    
Yeah, come on babe, let's start a-new
3       -3*  -3* -3 -3  -2  3  -2    
'Cause break-ing 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
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

I beg of you
Don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try?
Come on baby, let's start anew
Since breaking up is hard to do
