lyrics

(G) I / gave up phenobarbital, I done gave up quaaludes
I (C) gave up benzodiazepines but I (G) can’t give up the blues
My per- (D) scriptions have expired but my wounds inside won’t heal
My (C) tears flow intravenously now (G) isn’t that surreal?
I’ve got nothing but time to miss the way it was
I got a (C) longing for something to (G) give me a little buzz
Now I (D) need something broken and it’s tearing me apart
Cause a (C) little bit of breaking may (G) ease my broken heart

(G) Broken hearts and broken dreams, broken promises
There’s (C) more to being broken, cause (G) brokens what it is
(Bm7) Thank you for listening to my broken melody
I got a (Am) whole lotta broken in those (C) broken parts of (G) me

I / gave up singing out of tune, but I slip up now and then
And I (C) squeal into that microphone and I (G) make your eardrums bend
And I (D) howl at the moon with my head turned towards the sky
And I (C) drone on and on like a (G) broken lullaby
I got / something to say but my words are out of time
But (C) since you are listening I’ll (G) lay it on the line
My (D) whole song is broken, and it will be ‘till I die
Cause if i were to fix it then my (G) life would be a lie

I / gave up on giving up i -- gave in to giving in
I (C) gave myself a complex trying to (G) face that beast within
And i (D) see him in the mirror with that shit eating grin
He says you (C) know you can’t escape me, cause i’m (G) under your skin
And / i can’t believe that reflection is of me
There’s (C) something broken in those eyes, and it’s (G) dying to be free
I’ve (D) got to hide those eyes, i put my dark sunglasses on
And I (C) turn to face the world cause this (G) broken life goes on
