The Breakup Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
We had [Am]broken up for good,
just an [F]hour before
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
as they're [F]dancing 'cross the floor
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
And then the band slowed the tempo
and the [F]music gets you down
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
It was the same old song
with a [F]melancholy sound
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah[G]

[Chorus 1]
[F]They don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G][Dm]
[F]They just don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G]

[Verse 2]
We'd been [Am]living together for a [F]million years
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
But now it feels so strange
out of [F]the atmospheres
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
And then the jukebox plays a song
[F]I used to know
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
as they're [F]dancing so slow
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah[G]

[Chorus 2]
[F]They don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G][Dm]
[F]They don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
Now I [Am]wind up staring at an [F]empty glass
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah
'Cause it's so easy to say
that she'll for[F]get your past
Ah ah [G]ah, ah ah ah ah, [Am]ah[G]

[Chorus 3]
[F]They don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G][Dm]
[F]They just don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G]
[F]They don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G][Dm]
[F]They just don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G]

[Outro 1]
[F]They just don[C]'t, no, they don't
[G]No, no,[Dm] uh-uh
[F]They just don't wri[C]te 'em like that anymore
[G]
[F]They just don[C]'t, they just don't
[Fade out]
