I've got Afaith in the bank
And money in my Dsus2heart
I've got a Bm7calloused place
Where your Aring used to be, my Dsus2love
I've traded Anaked and unashamed
For a Dsus2better place to hide
For a Bm7righteous mask
A Asuit of fig leaves and liesDsus2  
I thought the Ecattle on a thousand hills
Was F#mnot enough to pay my bills
And I Gfell in love with those who proved me Dsus2wrong
And Anow I want a broken heart
Now there's a Agreat pad lock
On the Dsus2place where I was free
And I'm Bm7feeling bad from Aswallowing that Dsus2key
Now I Awork real hard
But I Dsus2mostly call in sick
Of a Bm7broken back from the Aground fighting back at Dsus2me
I Ecannot look you in the eye
So I F#mcheck the knots on my disguise
Cause I Gfell in love with fashion in the Dsus2dark
And Anow I want a broken heart
[Instrumental]
A    D    Bm    A    D
I've got Ealibis for every crime
A F#msbustitute to do my time
'cause GYour heart breaks enough on both our Dparts
DNow A/C#I     Bmwant a Abroken heart
DNow A/C#I     Bmwant a Abroken heart
DNow A/C#I     Bmwant a Abroken heart
