[Intro] C Am F C G [Verse 1]
C
He wakes up every morning

Am
Just like the one before

F
And counts the hearts he's broken

C                           G
Though he's long forgot the score

C
So he tells himself he's sorry

Am
Pretending that's enough

F
Then pours a cup of coffee

C               G
Calling his own bluff

Am
Broken Man
[Verse 2]
C
A painful, lonely childhood

Am
Leaves scars you can't erase

F
So he moves in desperation

C                      G
Shallow smile upon his face

C
That drink he took at 15

Am
Hung on to 61

F
And though the bottle may be empty

C                   G
The damage has been done

Am
Broken Man
[Chorus]
F             G
The emptiness inside him

G          C               Am
Leaves him full in its own way

F                     G
And the anger that he carried

G   C                 Am
Its long since passed away

F                    G
All that's left is a shell of something

C        Am
He don't understand

F                   C            G
Passing through his life with no plan

Am
Broken Man
[Verse 3]
C
He lives his life in endings

Am
Each one a turning page

F
Not looking back for the answers

C                      G
But locked inside this cage

C
So he reaches deep inside himself

Am
As if he has a clue

F
And comes up empty handed

C                         G
But that's no surprise to you

Am
Broken Man
[Chorus]
F             G
The emptiness inside him

G          C               Am
Leaves him full in its own way

F                     G
And the anger that he carried

G   C                 Am
Its long since passed away

F                    G
All that's left is a shell of something

C        Am
He don't understand

F                   C            G
Passing through his life with no plan

Am
Broken Man
[Verse 4]
C
His dreams are now forgotten

Am
Like toys he put away

F
Still he finds in him a reason

C                G
To cherish every day

C
The lessons that he's learning

Am
Can never be too late

F
So he puts himself in bed

C                     G
And resigns himself to fate

Am
Broken Man
[Chorus]
F             G
The emptiness inside him

G          C               Am
Leaves him full in its own way

F                     G
And the anger that he carried

G   C                 Am
Its long since passed away

F                    G
All that's left is a shell of something

C      Am
No one understands

F                     C            G
He passed through his life with no plan

Am
Broken Man
