[Verse 1]
AThis is a sunny sky, Ethis is a starry night
DThis is an afternoon I'll spend inside your arms, held tight
AThis is a question mark, Ethis is a final thought
DThis is a happy ending snuck into the epilogue
AThis is a separate building, Ethis is the journey there
DThis is the scenic route, this is your messy hair
AThis is a promise kept, an Ehonored lesson, taught it to you
DThrough the monumental light alive inside your armor suit, and
AThis is the reason I've been Eshaking when I speak
DAlways terribly afraid to make mistakes and make you leave
AIt's a shame i'm scared of heights, 'cause when you Esweep me off my feet
DI can feel the ground beneath me start to sink into the sea
AI can feel the clouds above me coming Ecloser to my touch
DI can almost taste the Heavens, but compared to you it's much
AThe same as everything else, another Ebook on a shelf
DIt's just too hard to explain, so i'm repeating myself, like
[Chorus]
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, you'll always know me better
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever
[Verse 2]
AThis is the celebration, Ethis is the party hat
DThis is the cellophane in which my heart is wrapped
AAnd i'm peeling it back, 'Ecause i'be been feeling the love
DThis is absolute bliss, this can fit like a glove
AThis is peace on the Earth, Ethis is me, what it's worth
DI'm not completely sure, but, still this
AThis here's the final draft, Ethis is an epitaph
DFor every negative emotion on a separate path and
AThis is the safest feeling Eever to be felt
DIt's a message in the morning that intends to make you melt
AAnd honestly, it's my magnum opus, Ethis is a storybook
DWhere all the illustrations have a super-friendly look
AA cordial shook hand at an Eimportant event
AWith stainless steel silverware and a porcelain dish
AIt's the weight of the pull inside of a Etorrent of fish
DA metaphor used precisely to make it more than it is
[Chorus/Outro]
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, you'll always know me better
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, you'll always know me better
AThis is a broken record, Ethis is a broken record
DThis is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever

[Verse 1]

A E

This is a sunny sky, this is a starry night

This is an afternoon I'll spend inside your arms, held tight

A E

This is a question mark, this is a final thought

This is a happy ending snuck into the epilogue

A E

This is a separate building, this is the journey there

This is the scenic route, this is your messy hair

A E

This is a promise kept, an honored lesson, taught it to you

Through the monumental light alive inside your armor suit, and

A E

This is the reason I've been shaking when I speak

Always terribly afraid to make mistakes and make you leave

A E

It's a shame i'm scared of heights, 'cause when you sweep me off my feet

I can feel the ground beneath me start to sink into the sea

A E

I can feel the clouds above me coming closer to my touch

I can almost taste the Heavens, but compared to you it's much

A E

The same as everything else, another book on a shelf

It's just too hard to explain, so i'm repeating myself, like

[Chorus]

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, you'll always know me better

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever

[Verse 2]

A E

This is the celebration, this is the party hat

This is the cellophane in which my heart is wrapped

A E

And i'm peeling it back, 'cause i'be been feeling the love

This is absolute bliss, this can fit like a glove

A E

This is peace on the Earth, this is me, what it's worth

I'm not completely sure, but, still this

A E

This here's the final draft, this is an epitaph

For every negative emotion on a separate path and

A E

This is the safest feeling ever to be felt

It's a message in the morning that intends to make you melt

A E

And honestly, it's my magnum opus, this is a storybook

Where all the illustrations have a super-friendly look

A E

A cordial shook hand at an important event

With stainless steel silverware and a porcelain dish

A E

It's the weight of the pull inside of a torrent of fish

A metaphor used precisely to make it more than it is

[Chorus/Outro]

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, you'll always know me better

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, you'll always know me better

A E

This is a broken record, this is a broken record

This is a broken record, so i'll be yours forever
