Breakin Up by Violent Femmes




                              Breakin Up 






(some kinda) A: x0220x
	     C: x32010
	    Em: 0220xx
	     E: 0221xx

like this:
	 A	    C	      Em      A	        C	    E	     		    
	Now, every once in a while, there's a crack in my smile...etc.

the little dun...da-dun...da-dun-da-dun-da-dun part right before the chorus
is an Em, then slid up 1 fret. So the fret pattern is 2...3-2...3-2-3-2-3-2

   Lyrics:
   
   Now every once in awhile
   There's a crack in my smile
   Dark voices are talking to me
   Dark voices tell me the way 
   It's supposed to be
   They said "Breakin' up"
   They said it's hard to do
   But what they say about Breakin Up 
   You know it's just not true

   Breakin Up, it's easy to do
   Breakin' Up, it's easy to do

   Why if you know
   Why'd you have to go
   And leave me on the floor 
   'Bout as sick as a dog
   I'm feeding my face
   Like a bleary-eyed hog
   Why'd it have to stop
   When it's just begun
   Why'd it have to stop
   With so much good undone
   
   Chorus(3x)

   You know I break up every time I 
   Break up with you (guitar solo)
