       LEAD-IN:  ( G  D ) ( A )  D  ( D A )

      ( G           D )      ( F#m7      Bm7 )
    The nightie you gave to me wasn't my size,
      ( G         D )         ( E7           A )
      I went to exchange it and learned a surprise:
      ( G        D )        ( A              Bm7 ) 
   Each gift you got me you'd bought two for one.
      ( G          D )           ( A )       D
Well if you love a bargain, you're gonna see some.

CHORUS:
        A                F#
        Buy one breakup, get one free.
        Bm               ( A         Bm7 )
    I'm here to return the hurt paid me.
        G
     By tryin' to keep two
      ( A7          Bm )
        girlfriends cheap, you
      ( G          D )    ( A       D )
        bought one breakup, got one free.
      ( G       D )    ( A )     D 
        Buy one breakup, get one free.

        Did some diggin, an' figured out who
        you'd been givin' them other gifts to.
        She and I had so much to discuss.
  Since you love a bargain, here's a steal from us:
 
        Buy one breakup, get one free.
  We're payin' you back for pain paid me.
     By tryin' to keep two
        girlfriends cheap, you
        bought one bitter end, got one free.
        Buy one breakup, get one free.

        A                   D
        You'll be sorry for bein' born
        A                     Bm
        once we've started on you.
        G                       ( A     Bm )
     If hell ain't nothin' like a woman scorned, well,
      ( G         D )          A        A7
        one ain't nothin' like two. 

    You bought one diamond, you got one free,
    but only one diamond was given to me.
      I found the other on my new friend's hand.
    Now she's got a bargain you'll understand:
 
        Buy one breakup, get one free.
  She's pay'n' you back your treachery.
     By tryin' to buy smart,
   when you just aren't;
    you bought one heartache, got one free.
        Buy one breakup, get one free.
