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

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
