[D]
This song here, I kind of wrote about this, the first girl that ever broke my heart, you know,
that'll make a songwriter out of you right away, you know.
She gave me my ring back and told me that she thought maybe it needed some work done on it.
I believed her.
[A]
As the cafe [D] was closing on a warm [E] summer night
and
[D] Cathy [B] was cleaning [A] the spoons,
[D] the radio played [A] the hit parade
[B] and I hummed along with the [E] tune.
[Dm] She asked [E] me to change [A] the station,
[D] said the song just drove [E] her insane,
[A] but it wasn't just the music [D] playing,
it [E] was me she was trying [A] to blame.
And [D] the sky is black [A] and still now,
[D] up on the hill when [Bm] the angels [E] sang,
[D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle
looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring,
[D] but it's far, [E] far [A] from me.
[D] [E]
[A]
Well, leaned on [D] my left leg in the parking [E] lot dirt
and
[D] Cathy [E] was closing [A] the lights.
[D] A June bug flew [A] from the warmth that once knew
[B] and I wished for once I [E] weren't right.
[D] Why, we [E] used to laugh [A] together
and [D] we'd dance to any [E] old song.
[A] Well, you know, she still [D] laughs with me,
[E] but she waits just a second [A] too long.
[D] And the sky is black [A] and still now,
[C#] up [D] on the hill when the angels [E] sang,
[D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle
looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring,
but [D] it's far, [E] far [A] from me.

I started [D] the engine, I gave [E] it some gas,
[D] and Cathy [E] was closing
[A] her purse.
[D] We hadn't gone far [A] in my beat up old car
[B] and I was prepared for [E] the worst.
[D] Will you [E] still see me [A] tomorrow?
No,
[D] I got too [E] much to do.
[A]
Well, the question ain't really [D] a question
[E] if you know the [A] answer to.
[D] And the sky is black [A] and still now,
[D] up on the hill when the [E] angels sang,
[F#m] [D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle
looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring,
but [D] it's far, [E]
far [A] from me.
Thank you.
