"Breaking Up Is Hard To Do"
(Neil Sedaka / Howard Greenfield)
Intro (acapella w/drums and handclaps until indicated):
Do-do-do down doobee-do-down-down comma-comma
Down doobee-do-down-down comma-comma
Down doobee-do-down-down
[N.C.]
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
[N.C.]
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
[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
[repeat bridge; backup vocalists sing lines 1 and 3]
[repeat verse 3]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Down doobee-do-down-down comma-comma
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
