The Break-Up Song
As performed by the Greg Kihn Band
Transcribed from the album “Beserkley’s Best”
[Intro]
[Am] [F] [G] [Am] [Am] [F] [G] [Am]
[Verse 1]
[Am]We had broken up for good just an [F]hour before
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]Now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re [F]dancing ‘cross the floor
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]And then the band slowed the tempo when the [F]music took you down
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]It was the same old song with the [F]melancholy sound
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am] [G]
[Chorus]
[F]They don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Dm]
[F]They just don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Gsus4] [G]
[Verse 2]
[Am]We been living together for a [F]million years
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]But now it feels so strange out in the [F]atmospheres
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]And then the jukebox plays a song I [F]used to know
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]And now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re [F]dancing so slow
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Chorus]
[F]They don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Dm]
[F]They don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Gsus4] [G]
[Intro riff again]
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]
[Verse 3]
[Am]Now I wind up staring at an [F]empty glass
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Am]Cause it’s so easy to say that you’ll [F]forget your past
[G]Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh [Am]
[Chorus]
[F]They don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Dm]
[F]They just don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Gsus4] [G]
[F]They don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Dm]
[F]They just don’t write ’em like [C]that any[G]more [Gsus4] [G]
[Chorus progression x3, end on F]
