Tift Merritt - Broken
[F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C]
[G]Once you were a [F]straight shot
A [C]shiny [G]quarter in a [F]new slot
[C]Night would [G]keep the dreams that [F]you got
For [Am][G]afternoon
Then telling the truth [F]got so hard
[C]We were [G]dancing in the[F] backyard
[C]Once I [G]knew the end and[F] the start
But [Am]now that's [G]through
Chorus
Now you're [F]broken and you [C]don't [G]understand
What is [F]broken falls into [C]place once [G]again
Hand of [F]kindness, come and [C]gather me [G]in like a [F]rainstorm
[C]Again and [G]again and [F]again
Well, [G]morning comes to [F]clean up
Like [C]nothing [G]happened when your [F]heart stopped
Like [C]all the [G]lawyers calling [F]all cops
To [Am]wave days[G] through
So, close your eyes for [F]this long
[C]Something's [G]mixed up and [F]something's gone
[C]Only [G]finger can you[F] count on
And [Am]one leaves[G] two
Chorus
Now you're [F]broken and you [C]don't [G]understand
What is [F]broken falls into [C]place once [G]again
Hand of [F]kindness, come and [C]gather me [G]in like a [F]rainstorm
[C]Again and [G]again and [F]again
I [C]think I will [G]break, but I [F]mend
Bridge
And it's [Am]these most loved losses
And they're [C]just old coin tosses
And it's these[Am] most loved [F]losses, are the [Am7]hardest to [G]carry
[F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C]
I [G]wish I were a [F]freeway
[C]Laid out [G]clearer than a [F]bright day
I'd [C]run wide [G]open down this[F] causeway
[Am]Like brand[G] new
Singing louder than the [F]whole block
[C]All my [G]love would be a [F]straight shot
[C]Night would [G]dream the dreams that[F] I got
And [Am]so would [G]you
Chorus
But I'm [F]broken and I [C]don't [G]understand
What is [F]broken falls into [C]place once [G]again
Hand of [F]kindness, come and [C]gather me [G]in like a [F]rainstorm
[C]Again and [G]again
'Cause I'm [F]broken and I [C]don't [G]understand
What is [F]broken falls into [C]place once [G]again
Hand of [F]kindness, come and [C]gather me [G]in like a [F]rainstorm
[C]Again and [G]again and [F]again
[C]Again and [G]again and [F]again
[C]Again and [G]again and [F]again
I [C]think I will [G]break, but I [F]mend
