This is the chords of Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90S by Sam Hunt on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
C,G,D,Em 2x
Yeah, man, oh man, oh man

[Verse 1]
C G
Bartender looked at me like
D Em
“Pony up, man, we’re closin’ down”
C G
I paid the tab, and I turned around
D
Got on that phone on the way home
Em
And ended up down the rabbit hole again
C G
It’s funny how you haven’t changed a bit
D
But you’re twice as pretty
Em C G
Glad you finally got to see New York City
And I know it’s not a race
D Em
But it looks like you’re gettin’ over me
C G
Faster than I’m gettin’ over you
D Em
But hey, what you gon’ do?

[Chorus]
C G
I’m sick of sittin’ at the house, dyin’ on my phone
D Em
Wishin’ I was somewhere I can be alone
C G
Try to let you go, somethin’ always reminds me
D Em
I bet breakin’ up was easy in the ’90s
C G
I’m tired of gettin’ drunk, tired of bein’ free
D Em
Tired of seein’ pictures I don’t wanna see
C G
Girl, you’re everywhere, everywhere but behind me
D Em
I bet breakin’ up was easy in the ’90s

[Verse 2]
C G
Back then, I could’ve convinced myself
D Em
That maybe you called when I was out
C G
But you didn’t know what to say, so you didn’t leave a message
D Em
And that you’re probably at home right now, sound asleep
C G
‘Cause goin’ out isn’t really your thing
D Em
And I wouldn’t have a clue what you been up to lately
Or who you been up to it with
C G
But when I don’t miss your calls, I miss you callin’
D Em
And I go ’round and ’round again

[Bridge]
C G
Modern love, it’s the modern hearts breakin’
D Em
I’m just a product of my generation, and I
C G D
‘Bout had enough, watchin’ you gettin’ on with your life

[Chorus]
Em C G
Baby, I’m sick of sittin’ at the house, dyin’ on my phone
D Em
Wishin’ I was somewhere I can be alone
C G
I try to let you go, somethin’ always reminds me
D Em
(I bet breakin’ up was easy in the ’90s)
C G
I’m tired of gettin’ drunk, tired of bein’ free
Em G
Tired of seein’ pictures I don’t wanna see
C G
Girl, you’re everywhere, everywhere but behind me
D Em
I bet breakin’ up was easy in the ’90s
C,G,D,Em

[Outro]
Hearts breakin’
I’m a product of my
Oh, a product of my generation, oh, and I
My baby, my baby
