The Great Break Up Song

	  		Intro:                                            x2  
  

Then the singing starts, with, to me, sounds like muted chords, they   
are Am, F and G, here are the lyrics adn chords:  

Am               F                   G  
We had broken up for good just an hour before  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

Am                    F                         G   
Now I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floor  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

Am                     F                         G  
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

(Play Intro Over Again)  
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

(Listen for strumming)  
F                    C                G Amin 
They don't write 'em like that anymore  
F                    C                 G Amin 
They just don't write 'em like that anymore  


Am                F                 G  
We'd been living together for a million years  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

Am                F                   G  
But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?)  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  


(Play Intro Over again)  
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

(Listen for Strumming)  
Am                     F      
They don't write 'em like that anymore  

They just don't write 'em like that anymore  


Am               F               G  
Now I wind up staring at an empty glass  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

Am                  F                     G  
Cause its so easy to say that you'll forget your past  

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh  

(Play Intro Over again)  
They don't write 'em like that anymore, no!  

They just don't write 'em like that anymore  

(Listen for how many times to play the intro over)  
They don't write 'em like that anymore
