Lawn^Gmowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all ^Ccracked ^GTV screens gone blank as cata^Cracts He’d ^Gtake ‘em all apart when he got ‘em up on his ^Cbench One by ^Amone, he’d ^Cbring ‘em back to life a^Dgain

He’s the ^Gfix-it man, the ^Cfix-it man ^G/B He can’t ^Amput it back together, then ^Git was never worth a ^Ddamn Maybe he’s ^Gcrazy for trying to save what’s already ^Amgone Or just an ^Cmanalog hero in a ^F7world full of zeroes and ^Gones ^C

He ^Gused to have a wife, but she passed a couple years a^Cgo ^GSomeone thought he had a daughter out in New Mexi^Cco Grew ^Gup in the Depression, it’s a lesson that he’ll never for^Cget There’s ^Amnothing so broken, ain’t ^Clife left in it ^Dyet
