For this song I worked out the electric solo and then went back and
did my best on the acoustic lead-in. I m pretty sure that the solo is
correct(although extraordinarily easy) but I m not certain about the
lead-in. So even if it s not exactly the way that Gordon plays it,it sounds
pretty close. You be the judge. If you work out a different way of playing
it, or if you just have questions or comments, e-mail me at *

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
You know it s just not true
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)
