Tom: Am
Am C G F
Breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do
Am C G F
I love you only but it's making me blue
Am C G F
So don't send me flowers like you always do
Am C G
It's hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing
[Verse 1]
Am C G
Are these my good years or do I have none?
Am C G F
Are there really good years for everyone?
Am C G F
I don't wanna live with a life of regret
Am C G F
I don't wanna end up like Tammy Wynette
[Chorus]
Am C G F
‘Cause breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do
Am C G F
I love you only, and it’s making me blue
Am C G F
So don’t send me flowers like you always do
Am C G
It’s hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing to do
[Verse 2]
Am C G F
George got arrested out on the lawn
Am C G F
We might be breaking up after this song
Am C G F
Will he still love me long after I’m gone?
Am C G
Or did he see it coming all along?
[Chorus]
Am C G F
‘Cause breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do
Am C G F
I love you only, and it’s making me blue
Am C G F
So don’t send me flowers like you always do
Am C G
It’s hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing to do
Breaking up slowly
G F
(Baby, breaking up is hard to do)
[Outro]
Am C G F
Breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do
Am C G F
Breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do
Am C G F
So don’t send me flowers like you always do
Am C G
It’s hard to be lonely
Am
but it's the right thing to do
