CHORUS

BROKEN THINGS

Capo III*

*For some reason, this song's not played in standard concert pitch on the recording, meaning that if your guitar's tuned to regular pitch, you won't be able to play along with the CD. Try retuning your strings down just under a half-step or so and you should be fine.

Anyway, for most of this song -- except for the first (G) chord in the intro and the second (G) in the break after the first chorus -- you'll use the second string/third fret as a sort of a drone . . . using it as your highest string and not playing the high E string at all, making the chords as follows:

G: 32003x
G/F#: 20003x
C: x3203x
D: xx023x
Em7: 02003x
Em7/B: x2003x
Am7: x0203x

Intro: (G)(G/F#)(C) . . . (G)(G/F#)(C)

You can (G)have my (G/F#)heart(C)
Though it (G)isn't (G/F#)new(C)
It's been (G)used and (G/F#)broken
And (C)only comes in (Am7)blue (D)

It's been (G)down a long(G/F#) road(C)
And it got (G)dirty on the (G/F#)way(C)
If I (G)give it to (G/F#)you
Will you (C)make it clean
And wash the (Am7)shame a(D)way

You can (C)have my heart(D)
If you don't mind (Em7)broken things(D)
You can (C)have my life(D)
If you don't mind these (Em7)tears(D)
Well I (C)heard that you make old things (D)new (G/B)
So I (C)give these pieces all to (D)you
If you (Am7)want it (Em7/B)you can (C)have (D)my (G)heart (G/F#)(C)

(G)(G/F#)(C)

So (G)beyond (G/F#)repair(C)
Nothing (G)I could (G/F#)do(C)
I tried to (G)fix it my(G/F#)self
But it was (C)only worse
When (Am7)I (Am7/G)got (D)through

Then (G)you walk right in(G/F#)to my (C)darkness
And you (G)speak words (G/F#)so (C)sweet
And you hold me (G)like a child(G/F#)
'Til my (C)frozen tears
(Am7)Fall at (Am7/G)your (D)feet
You can (C)have my heart(D)
If you don't mind (Em7)broken things(D)
You can (C)have my life(D)
If you don't mind these (Em7)tears(D)
Well I (C)heard that you make old things (D)new
So I (C)give these pieces all to (D)you
If you (Am7)want it (Em7/B)you can (C)have (D)my (Am7)heart(Em7/B)(C)(D)(G)

(G)(G/F#)(C) . . . (G)(G/F#)(C)

(G)In my (D)father's arms I'll (Em)be

Will (G)all be (D)healed and I'll be (Em)whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
(G)With the (D)light of Jesus' (Em)face
