BREAKDOWN As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1972 Album STORIES WE COULD TELL) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C                                F          C
The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leaving

                       D            G
There's nobody, nobody knows on the street

  C                           F           C
A few stranded souls standing cold at the station

    F          C         G          C     F
And nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep
[Chorus]
Bb                       F
Lord, would you look at you

F
Now that you're here, ain't you?

C             C7
Proud of your peers

        F
And the long way you've come

     Bb
All alone, all the way

        F
On your own who's to say

            C
That you've thrown it away for a song

C                                F          A D
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home
[Verse 2]
D                           G        D
So it's so long to so many, so far behind you

                              E         A
Fair weather friends that you no longer know

    D                         G          D
You still got the same lonely songs to remind you

   G           D            A        D  G
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago
[Chorus]
C                        G
Lord, would you look at you

G
Now that you're here, ain't you?

D
Proud of your peers

        G
And the long way you've come

     C
All alone, all the way

        G
On your own who's to say

            D                    D7
That you've thrown it away for a song

                                 G
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home
