Broke Down chords by Slaid Cleaves

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
Broke down.
