Broken Doll

DmDm          A minorAm
You called for me so here I am
DmDm       A minorAm
Not a boy and not a man
G minorGm      DmDm         G minorGm    A minorAm
Man enough to know the odds are long
DmDm           A minorAm
They dress you up and keep you clean
DmDm        A minorAm
Like courtiers around a queen
G minorGm         DmDm        Am7b5Am7b5
Show you good from bad, right from wrong

AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
           C minorCm  BbmBbm  DmDm
Won't mend a broken doll
DmDm          A minorAm
The little things in life escape her
DmDm         A minorAm
Dolls are made of rags and paper
G minorGm        DmDm       G minorGm     A minorAm
China cracks and chips so easily
DmDm        A minorAm
Doesn't have the will, the strength
DmDm          A minorAm
To hold the world out at arm's length
G minorGm         DmDm        Am7b5Am7b5
Skin's too thin, eyes too wide to see

AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
            C minorCm  BbmBbm
Won't mend a broken doll

BbmBbm F minorFm BbmBbm F minorFm EbmEbm BbmBbm EbmEbm F minorFm
BbmBbm F minorFm BbmBbm F minorFm EbmEbm BbmBbm  EbmEbm

DmDm         A minorAm
Wish I could give love to you
DmDm          A minorAm
And life to you and hope to you
G minorGm         DmDm        G minorGm     A minorAm
As you look through me to something else
DmDm       A minorAm
In your face I think I see
DmDm      A minorAm
Twisted-up infinity
G minorGm      DmDm        Am7b5Am7b5
Angel soul imprisoned in a shell

AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
AbAb    G minorGm       F minorFm
All the tears in the world
           C minorCm  BbmBbm  DmDm
Won't mend a broken doll
