CAPO 4 
 
 
INTRO:  G C  G C G 
 
 
        Am7 D              G 
Years go by,  The singer's change 
         Am7           D             G 
Same old story but the words get rearrange 
         C                      G 
Somebody loved someone somebody left someone 
         Am7              G                  D       
Somebody swears it wasn't s'pose to end this way 
Em              C      
People dance to summertime 
G                D      
Happy songs with happy rhymes 
Em                    C 
And melodies make you wanna drive 
    C           D  
and sing-a-long   
 
Em                      C 
And Singer's talk about growing up 
G                  D        B7 
The first kiss and being in love 
Em              D        C 
Nothing hits as close to home  
       D       G 
as The Breakup Song 
 
VERSE 2: 
Am7    D           G 
Violins and I love you's 
        Am7                 D                G       
If they slightly miss their mark they ring untrue 
                  C                     G 
There's something about goodbye, Makin' someone cry 
          Am7          G                D   
Sounds to me more like what real people do 
 
CHORUS: 
Em              C      
People dance to summertime 
G                D      
Happy songs with happy rhymes 
Em                    C 
And melodies make you wanna try 
    C           D  
and sing-a-long  
Em                      C 
And Singer's talk about growing up 
G                  D        B7 
The first kiss and being in love 
Em              D        C 
Nothing hits as close to home  
       D       Em   C G D 
as The Breakup Song 
 
OUTRO CHORUS: (PLAY SOFTLY) 
 
Em                      C 
And Singer's talk about growing up 
G                  D        B7 
The first kiss and being in love 
Em              D        C 
Nothing hits as close to home  
       D       G 
as The Breakup Song 
 
           Em                      G 
We need to talk,This ain't working out 
                  Em                       G 
Could we still be friends, I found someone else 
            Em                      G 
I need some space, This just feel's wrong 
            Em      N.C.      G 
Everybody's lived, The Breakup Song
