[Verse]

I miss the salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays

F Dm

Driving down the Natchez Trace

Walking through the cracker trees

In Franklin, Tennessee

[Verse]

I miss the thunder rushing through the leaves

F Dm

The train that rolled down Mercy street

The laughter in the twisted sheets

In the middle of the day

[Pre-Chorus]

You fold your arms and cross your legs

Am F

A distant look upon your face

The fighting was a sad disgrace

Am Bb C

Of who we were

[Chorus]

I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart

Broken heart, broken heart

I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops

F Dm C

Until the pain is lost and you can face the world again, my friend, yeah

[Instrumental]

F Dm

C F Dm

[Verse]

I miss the television in the bedroom

F Dm

Binging on the 'Game of Thrones' and

Eating ice cream with no bowl

And sleeping in till 10

[Verse]

I miss the pounding rain and pounding hearts

F Dm

The sentences you'd start and stop

The days we'd never leave the house

And hide ourselves away

[Pre-Chorus]

You fold your arms and cross your legs

Am F

A distant look upon your face

The fighting was a sad disgrace

Am Bb C

Of who we were

[Chorus]

I'll wrap my arms around your broken heart

Broken heart, broken heart

I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops

Until the pain is lost and you can face the world again, my friend

Broken heart, your broken heart

I'm gonna hold you till the hurting stops
