G G Dm(add4)/A C
Baby don't you do it,
G G Dm(add4)/A C

Don't you break my heart
G G Dm(add4)/A C
Ple___ase don't do it,

[Verse 1]
G C
A sacrifice would make you happy
G C
if nothing for myself
G C
Now you wanna leave me
G C
for the love of someone else
G C
My pride is all gone
G C
whether I'm right or wrong
G C
I need you baby
G C
to keep on keepin' on

Don't you break my heart
[Verse 2]
G C
My biggest mistake was loving you too much
G C
and letting you know
G C
Now you got me where you want me
G C
and you won't let me go
G C
If my heart was made of glass
G C
well then you'd surely see
G C
How much heartache and misery,
G C
girl, you've been causing me
[Chorus 3]
G Dmadd4/A C G
While I've been trying to do my best

Don't do it
G G Dm(add4)/A C
Don't you break my heart
G G Dm(add4)/A C
Ple___ase don't do it,
G G Dm(add4)/A C G
Don't you break my heart
[Bridge]
G
Go down to the river and there I be
G
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care about me
G
Open up your eyes
G
Can't ya see I love ya?
G
Open up your heart, girl
G
Can't ya see I need ya?
[Chorus 4]
G Dm(add4)/A C
Oh baby don't do it, do it, do it

Don't you break my heart
