Ryan Adams - Broken things
Standard Tuning - Capo 2
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
F                              C
I've come to you from broken things
F                                    C
I've crawled to you on my hands and knees
F                               C
Sailed to you across the seven seas
     G     F               C
If only to hear you say my name
F                             C
I've come to you from broken times
F                                    C
I've showed you my face with no disguise
    F                         C
My memories a mirror without eyes
G           F             C
If only to take way your pain
G           F              C
If only to hear you say my name
[Chorus]
                              Am     G
You're the whispering in the rising wind
F             C       B             Am       G
Empty and so cold too dark for the birds to fly in
         F              G
They're lined up on the wall
    Am          B  C         F                G
And as I'm walking by they scattered and take off
   F                               C
I watch them as they rise into the sun
   F                              C
If only you believed you were the one
[Verse]
F                                C
When the day is new the light is warm
F                                       C
Up on the bed the curtain is drawn and torn
      F                             C
The shadows forming, falling just behind
   G         F                  C
If only you believed all of my lies     
F                                 C
Hanging in my heart just like a flag
F                                   C
When I'm lazy the wind, the colors sag
F                              C
As the clouds go rolling off the hill
G                    F               C
Can't tell where the roofs begin and end
 G              F             C
No more will I know my home again
[Chorus]
                            Am     G
Hear the whispering in the rising wind
F             C        B            Am       G
Empty and so cold too dark for the birds to fly in
        F                G
They're lined up on the wall
Am          B      C         F                G
And as I'm walking by they scattered and take off
   F                                C
I watch them as they rise into the sun
    F                             C
If only you believed you were the one
