Tift Merritt - Broken
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: F C G F C F C G F C
G F
Once you were a straight shot
C G F
A shiny quarter in a new slot
C G F
Night would keep the dreams that you got
Am G
For afternoon
F
Then telling the truth got so hard
C G F
We were dancing in the backyard
C G F
Once I knew the end and the start
Am G
But now that's through
CHORUS:
F C G
Now you're broken and you don't understand
F C G
What is broken falls into place once again
F C G F
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm
C G F
Again and again and again
G F
Well, morning comes to clean up
C G F
Like nothing happened when your heart stopped
C G F
Like all the lawyers calling all cops
Am G
To wave days through
F
So, close your eyes for this long
C G F
Something's mixed up and something's gone
C G F
Only finger can you count on
Am G
And one leaves two
CHORUS:
F C G
Now you're broken and you don't understand
F C G
What is broken falls into place once again
F C G F
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm
C G F
Again and again and again
C G F
I think I will break, but I mend
BRIDGE:
Am
And it's these most loved losses
C
And they're just old coin tosses
Am F Am7 G
And it's these most loved losses, are the hardest to carry
INSTRUMENTAL: F C G F C F C G F C
G F
I wish I were a freeway
C G F
Laid out clearer than a bright day
C G F
I'd run wide open down this causeway
Am G
Like brand new
F
Singing louder than the whole block
C G F
All my love would be a straight shot
C G F
Night would dream the dreams that I got
Am G
And so would you
CHORUS:
F C G
But I'm broken and I don't understand
F C G
What is broken falls into place once again
F C G F
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm
C G
Again and again
F C G
'Cause I'm broken and I don't understand
F C G
What is broken falls into place once again
F C G F
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm
C G F
Again and again and again
C G F
Again and again and again
C G F
Again and again and again
C G F
I think I will break, but I mend
