[Verse 1]
D Bm Tomorrow i`ll be coming home i hope to find you all alone, D Bm With open arms to greet me at the door, D You cried as i was led away it seems like only yesterday,
But after all these years i can`t be sure.
[Bridge 1]
D Bm While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you, D Bm G Not knowing what your going through, Em G I prayed that you`d remember me, Em But i know life goes on you see.
[Chorus 1]
D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm D D D D I broke your heart the day i broke the law.
[Verse 2]
D Bm The man you knew don`t hurt no more my tears were shed behind locked door, D Bm I`ve told myself you`ve gone a thousand times,
N.C
Still when it got too much to bear i`d run my fingers through your hair,
N.C
Your kissing lips were always on my mind.
[Bridge 2]
D Bm While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you, D Bm G Not knowing what your going through, Em G I prayed that you`d remember me, Em But i know life goes on you see.
[chorus 2]
D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm D D D A5 B5 C#5 D5 I broke your heart the day i broke the law.
[verse 3]
N.C
So yesterday they set me free they gave me back my liberty,
N.C
They gave me something else i can`t ignore,
N.C
A chance to go back where i`m from a chance to even call upon,
N.C
My friends but they don`t live there anymore.
[Bridge 3]
D Bm While i`ve been dreaming dreams of you, D Bm G Not knowing what your going through, Em G I prayed that you`d remember me, Em But i know life goes on you see.
[Outro Chorus Till Fade]
D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law, D Bm I broke your heart the day i broke the law.
