Slaid Cleaves - Broke down

^DSherry had a pawn shop band of gold, A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold, ^GAlong came a boy, ^Apretty as the devil, She ^Dtook his ^Ahand, the whole^Bm thing unravelled, ^GThere's no turnin' ^Around, It's broke ^Ddown.

^DBilly took the ring, jammed it in his pocket, Drove down town and tried to hock it, ^GDown at^A the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain, There^D's a lo^Ave not carved in^Bmside a wedding ring.

^GBroke down, ^Acracked and shattered, ^DLeft in p^Aieces like it^Bm never even mattered, ^GBroke down, ^Atorn and frayed, ^DAin't nothin' le^Aft you could^Bm give away, ^GThere's no turnin' ^Around, It's broke ^Ddown.

^GAin't no tellin’ where love goes, ^AMaybe down where the ^Dblack river flows, ^GWon't be comin' back ^Around, It's broke ^Ddown.

^DBaby in the back seat, another on the way, Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day, ^GShe spends her nigh^Ats waiting for real life to start, ^DListeni^Ang to^Bm the sound of her double crossed heart.

^GBroke do^Awn, cracked and shattered, ^DLeft ^Ain pi^Bmeces like it never even mattered, ^GThere's n^Ao turnin' round, It's broke ^Ddown.

^DOn the other side of town, two lovers lie still, Cigarette smokin' on a window sill, There^G's a picture lock^Aed up in an old suitcase, Billy c^Dloses^A his ^Bmeyes but he still sees her face.

^GBroke^A down, cracked and shattered, ^DLeft^A in pi^Bmeces like it never even mattered, ^GBroke dow^An, torn and frayed, Ain't ^Dnothi^An' le^Bmft you could give away, ^GThere's no tur^Anin' round, It's b^Droke down. ^DBroke down.
