For my broken heart
Em -
Bm - Am - D
G C
1. There were no angry words at all
G
C
as we
carried boxes down the hall,
Am C D G - D
one
by one we put them in your car.
G C
Nothing much for us to say,
G C
one
last goodbye and you drove away,
Em Am D
- D7
I watched your tail-lights as
they faded in the dark.
Bm Em
I couldn't face the night in
that lonely bed,
Am
D
so I
laid down on the couch instead.
C D
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep,
Bm Em
then
I cried myself to sleep,
Am C
- D G - G7
so sure life wouldn't go on without you.
C D
But, Lord, the sun is blinding me
B7 Em - C
as it wakes me from the dark,
G - D Em
I guess the world didn't stop for my broken heart.
+ Em - Bm - C - D
G C
2. Clocks still ticking, life
goes on,
G C
radio
still plays a song
Am C
D G - D
as I
try to put my scattered thoughts in place.
G C
And it takes all the strength
I've got
G C
to
stumble to the coffee pot,
Em Am D - D7
the
first of many lonely mornings I've got to face.
Bm Em
You call to see if I'm OK,
Am D - D7
I look out the window and I
just say …
C D
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep,
Bm Em
then
I cried myself to sleep,
Am C - D
G - G7
so sure life wouldn't go on without you.
C D
But, Lord, the sun is blinding me
B7 Em - C
as it wakes me from the dark,
G - D Em - C
I guess the world didn't stop for my broken heart.
G - D
+ Oh, I guess the world
ain't gonna to stop
Em - Bm
- D - G
for
my broken heart.
