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