Broke Down by Slaid Cleaves
Broke Down
Capo 1
D
Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold,
G A
Along came a boy, pretty as the devil,
D A Bm
She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled,
G A
There's no turnin' round,
D
It's broke down.
D
Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket,
Drove down town and tried to hock it,
G A
Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain,
D A Bm
There's a love not carved inside a wedding ring.
G A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D A Bm
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
G A
Broke down, torn and frayed,
D A Bm
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
G A
There's no turnin' round,
D
It's broke down.
G
Ain't no tellin’ where love goes,
A D
Maybe down where the black river flows,
G A
Won't be comin' back round,
D
It's broke down.
D
Baby in the back seat, another on the way,
Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day,
G A
She spends her nights waiting for real life to start,
D A Bm
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart.
G A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D A Bm
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
G A
There's no turnin' round,
D
It's broke down.
D
On the other side of town, two lovers lie still,
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,
G A
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase,
D A Bm
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face.
G A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D A Bm
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
G A
Broke down, torn and frayed,
D A Bm
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
G A
There's no turnin' round,
D
It's broke down.
D
