[Chorus 1]
G Dm(add4)/A C

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

[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

[Chorus 2]
             G         Dmadd4/A  C   G
You know I'm trying to do my     best
       G         Dmadd4/A  C   G
Oh I'm trying to do my     best
      G Dm(add4)/A C
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

[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
          G        Dmadd4/A  C   G
Well I've tried to do my     best
      G Dm(add4)/A C
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
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
