Slaid Cleaves - Broke down

^CSherry had a pawn shop band of gold, A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold, ^FAlong came a boy, ^Gpretty as the devil, She ^Ctook his ^Ghand, the whole^Am thing unravelled, ^FThere's no turnin' ^Ground, It's broke ^Cdown.

^CBilly took the ring, jammed it in his pocket, Drove down town and tried to hock it, ^FDown at^G the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain, There^C's a lo^Gve not carved in^Amside a wedding ring.

^FBroke down, ^Gcracked and shattered, ^CLeft in p^Gieces like it^Am never even mattered, ^FBroke down, ^Gtorn and frayed, ^CAin't nothin' le^Gft you could^Am give away, ^FThere's no turnin' ^Ground, It's broke ^Cdown.

^FAin't no tellin’ where love goes, ^GMaybe down where the ^Cblack river flows, ^FWon't be comin' back ^Ground, It's broke ^Cdown.

^CBaby in the back seat, another on the way, Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day, ^FShe spends her nigh^Gts waiting for real life to start, ^CListeni^Gng to^Am the sound of her double crossed heart.

^FBroke do^Gwn, cracked and shattered, ^CLeft ^Gin pi^Ameces like it never even mattered, ^FThere's n^Go turnin' round, It's broke ^Cdown.

^COn the other side of town, two lovers lie still, Cigarette smokin' on a window sill, There^F's a picture lock^Ged up in an old suitcase, Billy c^Closes^G his ^Ameyes but he still sees her face.

^FBroke^G down, cracked and shattered, ^CLeft^G in pi^Ameces like it never even mattered, ^FBroke dow^Gn, torn and frayed, Ain't ^Cnothi^Gn' le^Amft you could give away, ^FThere's no tur^Gnin' round, It's b^Croke down. ^CBroke down.
