Topic: Crush my Broken Heart

I've got lots of bits of paper round the house with a line to a full song on. i picked up this bit of paper today and started work on the song till i realised i'd already done it!, so i binned the words and thought up new ones to fit the melody i had. it's about a guy who knows his wife is playing away, so he keeps quiet rather than lose her...i read about it somewhere, so it does happen.

Crush My Broken Heart.Undefined


[C] Fear is not a state of grace. And [Em7] tears are not Gods rain.


[Am] Many a night in my lonely bed. Cant [F] sleep through all the pain.


An [C] empty room is an empty room. When you're [Em7] in there on your own.


[Am] No amount of “it's all rights."Are gonna [F] calm your fears down.






Will you [Am] run away? Will you run away?


Will you [F] crush my broken heart?


When the [C] cold dawn breaks over distant lakes.


When the [G] clouds of tears depart.


[C] I've known for more than “just a while,"there was [Em7] someone else around.


[Am] Tell-tale signs that he left behind. He was [F] tearing my world apart.


[C] Yes I've known, but my lips are sealed. [Em7] Hoped in time that the pain would heal.


And [Am] one day he would fade away.


And [F] your affection would come my way, [C] again. [Em] Again. [Am] Again.-[F]


[G] I don’t want to be the one, who [Am] gave-up easily.


And [F] I don’t want you to go. So I [Em] sit here silently.


Will you [Am] run away. Will you run away.


Will you [F] crush my broken heart?


When the [C] cold knife slips, between my ribs.



And you [Em] still my broken heart.


Will you [Am] cry for me. Will you feel for me.


When you [F] crush my broken heart?


Will you [C] take the hand of another man.


While I [G] crumble in the dark.


[C] You may ask “ how can you sit there cool?"


While she [Em7] runs around makes me look a fool.


When I [Am] close my eyes I can see them kiss.


And it [F] breaks my heart I must confess.


Might [C] run away, might go to him. [Em7] Where do I go then?


If I [Am] face her down confront her lies, she might [F] go what would I gain.


Will she [Am] run away, will she run away.


Will she [Em7] crush my broken heart?


When the [F] cold steel slips between my ribs.


And she [C] stills my broken heart.


[C] Fear is not a state of grace. -[Em7-Am-F-]


An empty room is an empty room.-[Em7-Am-F]


[C] Will you cry for me will you feel for me?- [Em7-Am-F]


[C] When you crush my broken heart, when you [Em7] crush my broken heart.


When the [Am] cold steel slips between my ribs, and you [F] still my broken heart.-[C]

Re: Crush my Broken Heart

Hey that's awesome! smile When I read it I can see it all happening in my mind.
I wish I could write songs like that. I get the words and then can't think of a tune. But that's inspiring. Keep on going!:)

Country music is three chords and the truth.

Re: Crush my Broken Heart

Hi Phill
I like this one nice mix of keyboard and guitars. I like the refrain from the keboard with minors setting up the mood of the piece.
Well done sounds like your back in business again.
The only thing Myspace makes it difficult to find your new song as it puts it at the bottom of the playing order. I think soundclick seems a better option at the moment as you can link straight to the song.
Just a thought
anyway great stuff!

Re: Crush my Broken Heart

thanks steelstrings, your on chordie, help is always at hand...just ask

hi tony, agreed about my-space, i'll see if i've still got the password for soundclick as i've lost a lot of stuff. and i shall up-load there for the forseeable...hopefully.
glad you liked it, it is basically a three track recording... i did the vocal and guitar together, then bass and piano as an afterthought. i made the mistake of not putting a click track on, so i lost time here and there.
