1965 - From "Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart/Wait" single #31 USA chart; #22 UK chart
1965 - From "The Orbison Way" album
(Bill Dees / Roy Orbison)
[Intro]
C C C Bb
C C C Bb
[Verse 1]
C                                 Dm
I wonder why you threw your diary away
              G                            C
When you walk by, I nearly die, what can I say?
                                           F
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
           D7
Now, we’re apart,
 C              G           C     D
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart
[Short break]
D D D C
D D D C
D D D
[Verse 2]
D                                       Em
I find myself alone at night and then I cry
         A                                D
No tenderness, my happiness just said goodbye
                                    G
Now you’re gone, I’m alone I wonder why
          E7
We had to part?
[Chorus]
D              A           D  G
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart baby,
D              A           D     E
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart
[Short break]

[Verse 3]
E                                            F#m
The love affair we used to share is cold and still
            B                              E
I loved you then, I love you now. I always will
The day that you found someone new
          A               F#
My lonely world just fell apart
E           A
Out of your arms drives me
E         A
Out of my mind baby
E              A           E      A
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart, baby
[Outro]
E              A           E
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart
B                          E
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart
B                          E
Breakin’ up is breakin’ my heart...
