Chords
C
Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold,
F G
Along came a boy, pretty as the devil,
C Em Am
She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled,
F G
There's no turnin' round,
C
It's broke down.
C
Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket,
Drove down town and tried to hock it,
F G
Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain,
C Em Am
There's a love not carved inside a wedding ring.
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Em Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
F G
Broke down, torn and frayed,
C Em Am
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
F G
There's no turnin' round,
C
It's broke down.
F G
Ain't no tellin where love goes,
C Em Am
Maybe down where the black river flows,
F G
Won't be comin' back round,
C
It's broke down.
C
Baby in the back seat, and another on the way,
Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day,
F G
Spends her nights waiting for real life to start,
C Em Am
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart.
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Em Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
F G
There's no turnin' round,
C
It's broke down.
C
On the other side of town, two lovers lie still,
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,
F G
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase,
C Em Am
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face.
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Em Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
F G
Broke down, torn and frayed,
C Em Am
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
F G
There's no turnin' round,
C
It's broke down.
Broke down.
