Broke Down  Slaid Cleaves



VERSE 1
[C]Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,
[C]A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold,
[F]Along came a boy, [G]pretty as the devil,
She [C]took his [Em]hand, the whole [Am]thing unravelled,
[F]There's no turnin' [G]round,
It's broke [C]down.

VERSE 2
[C]Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket,
[C]Drove down town and tried to hock it,
[F]Down at the bottom of [G]Lake Ponchartrain,
There's a [C]love note [Em]carved inside a [Am]wedding [Am/G]ring

CHORUS
[F]Broke down, [G]cracked and shattered,
[C]Left in [Em]pieces like it [Am]never even [Am/G]mattered
[F]Broke down, [G]torn and frayed,
[C]Ain't nothin' [Em]left you could [Am]give away,
[F]There's no turnin' [G]round,
It's broke [C]down.

BRIDGE
[F]Ain't no tellin [G]where love goes,
[C]Maybe [Em]down where the [Am]black river [Am/G]flows
[F]Won't be comin' back [G]round,
It's broke [C]down.

VERSE 2
[C]Baby in the back seat, and another on the way,
[C]Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day,
[F]Spends her nights waiting for [G]real life to start,
[D]Listening to the [Em]sound of her [Am]double crossed heart.
[F]Broke down, [G]cracked and shattered,
[C]Left in [Em]pieces like it [Am]never even [Am/G]mattered
[F]There's no turnin' [G]round,
It's broke [C]down.

VERSE 3
[C]On the other side of town, two lovers lie still,
[C]Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,
[F]There's a picture locked [G]up in an old suitcase,
[C]Billy closes his [Em]eyes but he [Am]still sees her face.
[F]Broke down, [G]cracked and shattered,
[C]Left in [Em]pieces like it [Am]never even [Am/G]mattered
[F]Broke down, [G]torn and frayed,
[C]Ain't nothin' [Em]left you could {Am]give away,
[F]There's no turnin' [G]round,
[C]It's broke down.
[C]Broke down.

Wish you well,
