[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] Once [Ab] you were a straight, [Eb] sharp, shiny [Bb] [Ab] quarter in a new [Eb] slot
Night would [Bb] keep [Ab] the dreams that you _ [Cm] thought for _ _ [Bb] afternoon _ _
_ In telling [Ab] the truth got so [Eb] hard
We [Bb] were dancing [Ab] in the backyard
[Eb] _ [Bb] Once I knew [Ab] the end and the [Cm] start
But now, [Bb] that's through _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] Now you're broken
[Eb] And you don't [Bb] understand [Ab] what is [Eb] broken
Fall into place once again, [Ab] head of kindness
[Eb] Come and [Bb] gather me in [Ab] my _ graceful
[Eb] Again and [Bb] again [Ab] and again _ _
_ _ Well, morning comes to clean [Eb] up
Like [Bb] nothing happened [Ab] when you're hurt
[Eb] Stopped like [Bb] all the [Ab] lawyers falling off
[Cm] Cops don't lay _ [Bb] things down _
_ So close [Ab] your eyes for this [Eb] long
[Bb] Something's mixed [Ab] up and something's [Eb] gone
[Bb] Only fingers [Ab] can you count [Cm] on
And morning _ _ [Bb] leaves too _
_ _ Now [Ab] you're broken
[Eb] And you don't understand [Ab] what is broken
[Eb] Fall into place once again, [Ab] head of kindness
[Eb] Come and [Bb] gather me in [Ab] like a _ rainstorm
[Eb] Again [Bb] and again [Ab] and again _
[Eb] I think I will [Bb] break, [Ab] but I'm in _
_ _ _ [Cm] And it's these lost-love losses
They [Eb] are just old coin tosses
[Cm] And it's these most-love losses
Rather hard as [Bb] they carry
I _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] wish [Ab] I would be
[Eb] Way laid [Bb] out, clearer [Ab] than bright
[Eb] Day run [Bb] wide, open [Ab] down this cause
Way [Cm] blind, _ [Bb] brand new _ _
_ _ But [Ab] I'm broken
And [Eb] I don't [Bb] understand what [Ab] is broken
Falls [Eb] into place once again, head [Ab] of kindness
[Eb] Come and gather [Bb] me in like [Ab] a rainstorm _
[Eb] Again and [Bb] again [Ab] and again
Cause I'm broken
[Eb] And I don't [Bb] understand what [Ab] is broken
Falls [Eb] into place once again, head [Ab] of kindness
[Eb] Come and gather [Bb] me in like [Ab] a rainstorm
[Eb] _
Again and [Bb] again and [Ab] again
_ [Eb]
Again and [Bb] again and [Ab] again _
[Eb] Again and [Bb] again and [Ab] again
_ I [Eb] think I [Bb] will break, but [Ab] I'm in
