The Best Songs Come From Broken Hearts

D                            A
I stood in the street in the pouring rain
Bm                       G
Didn't give a damn about anything
D           A
I said take me,
        Bm          G
Oh Lord, just take me

D
I went back in the house
A
Picked up this guitar
Bm
And somehow my fingers found
G
Their way to my heart
D       A
And it save me
          Bm      G
Oh Lord, it saved me

G                   A
I'm not proud of my mistakes
G                             A
But thanks to you I've got so much to say

D                              A
Cause the best songs come from broken hearts
Bm                     G
From busted dreams and beat up guitars
D
From times like these
A
When I'm down on my knees
     Bm
It's true
D
Ya gotta dig deep within
A
The well of your soul
Bm
To find the will to sing the words
G
That only you know
D
About going through hell and
A                  Bm  G
Living to tell the truth
G          A        Bm  A
But the best songs come from broken hearts

D  A  Bm  G

  D
I fell for a dream
       A
It was not what it seemed
       Bm
By the time I woke up
      G
I had lost everything
             D             A
Thought I'd die without you
              Bm           G
But I came to life without you

            D                 A
Yeah cause God has a way of working things out
      Bm                         G
If not for the music where would I be now
           D             A
I'm gonna write about you
              Bm                G
You bet I'm gonna write about you

       G                    A
Cause despite the obvious mistake
          G                  A
Thanks to you, now I've got so much to say
