              A 
It's not you, it's me 
                    E 
And me don't like you 
                   A 
It's not you, it's I and 
(hold)                  A 
I am breaking up with you 

A 
(hold)                     A 
You swore up and down the walls 
                                E 
'Twilight is is best trilogy of all' 
                          A 
Some how you got me to agree 
                                  A 
to dress up like Edward for Halloween 
                           D 
But now that I'm coming clean 
                              A 
First off, Twilight is a quadrillogy 
                                    E 
And that tan werewolf dude isn't worthy 
     E 
Of removing, 
                    A 
A wookie's dingleberries 

(Chewbacca impressions) 

A 
                   A 
It's not me, it's you 
                                              E 
(Even more I think about it) It's definitely you 
                A 
But it might be me 
                          A 
Cause me decided to date you 

                                A 
When we went out on our first date 
                                       E 
You said you don't eat anything with a face 
                             A 
Then for the next eighteen months 
                                     A 
I ate sausage made from rice and walnuts (that's not sausage) 
                             D 
But now that we're parting ways 
                          E 
Newsflash, Fish have a face! 
                                                      A 
And unless it's in a newton, he doesn't want another fig! 
           (hold)                                A 
Tonight I'm eating a rabbit-ven-it-ture-duck-in-ig 

That's a rabbit inside a duck, inside a chicken, inside a turkey, inside a deer, inside  
a pig (deep fried), with gravy (beef gravy) 

(That's disgusting. And impossible) 

                A 
It's you, it's you (no doubt about it) 
                       E 
It was always totally you 
                    A (hold) 
But now it's up to me 
                       A 
And me is now dumping you
