The Broken Ones chords by Missy Higgins

The Broken Ones - Missy Higgins


Verse 1:
Fm            Gb      Bm
I said it out loud 23 times
    Gb
I'm not gonna make the same mistakes
Fm             Gb
I promised the river
                            Bm
Held my child and whispered in her hair
Bm                         Gb
Life is not a poem, it's a war

Chorus:
C                 Bm           Bm          F
And I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore
Bm        C
Anymore


Verse 2:
Fm        Gb               Bm
I pay a stranger every two weeks
   Gb
To repackage my thoughts for me
Fm                Gb                 Bm
But now there's a razor between your lips
     Gb                      Bm
That kiss will make my heart unzip
Bm                        C
And I want it like I need it


Chorus:
C                 Bm           Bm          F
But I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore
C             Bm           Bm
I'm not gonna fall for the ones like me
F
With darkness in their bellies
C             Bm           Bm
I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones
F                            Bm
No, I'll be smarter from now on
                         Gb
So much smarter from now on


Intrumental:
C    Bm    Bm    Gb
ooh


Bridge:
    C
Two people trying to save each other
     Bm
Only pulls them both further under
      Bm
Don't waste your strength waving at me
      F
I'm a life jacket made of concrete
    C
Got darkness I've been trying to run from
     Bm
Only thing keeping me sane are these songs

        Bm
I don't want to touch the open skies
       F
I just need a safe place to hide


Last Chorus & Outro:
C                 Bm           Bm
Cos I don't wanna fall for the broken ones
    F
The luminescent wild ones
C
The dancing on electric wire ones
Bm
Tumbling through the sky ones
Bm
Chasing the essential fire ones
F
The haunted agonised ones
C
The tortured juggling knives ones
Bm
Beautiful crazy-eyed ones
Bm
Death tugging at their mind ones


F                            Bm
No, I'll be smarter from now on
                         Gb
So much smarter from now on
                   Bm
Only problem that I got now is
                         C     Bm    Bm    F             Bm
Who's gonna fall for this                       broken one
