[Verse 1]

C#m G#m A E

I hurt my brother and I left the family tree

F#m C#m B B

When I tell the story, I say that they left me

So I wander through the country with no name

Hard to know just who you are without somewhere to stay

[Chorus]

A E

I feel broken

C#m G#m

Weary of the wars I can't escape

A E

Tired of hoping

C#m G#m

For the promised morning light to break

A E C#m G#m

And then I heard you calling out my name

A E

Singing, "Do not be afraid,

C#m B C#m G#m A E F#m C#m B B

I will be your dwelling place"

[Verse 2]

C#m G#m A E

It's a brand new morning and the birds are happy still

F#m C#m B B

I keep fighting for my peace and taking pills

C#m G#m A E

You come asking me to lay my burdens down

F#m C#m B B

Why do I feel safer with my worries and my doubts?

[Chorus]

Oh, I feel broken

C#m G#m

Weary of the wars I can't escape

Tired of hoping

Running through the gardens to the east of Cheesman Park

And he can't understand the fullness of my love

F#m C#m B B

Tell me it's the same with my father up above

[Chorus]

Oh, I feel broken

C#m G#m

Weary of the wars I can't escape

A E

Tired of hoping

For the promised morning light to break
