Dm
Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in

Janey had a baby wasn't any sin
     C
They were set to marry on a summer day
     Dm                  A
Bobby got scared and he ran away
           Dm
Jane moved in with here ma out on Shawnee Lake

She sighed ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake
     C
She settled in in a back room time passed on
  Dm                  A
Later that winter a son came along

           G                 Dm
Spare parts and broken hearts
                     A       | G | G | Dm | Dm | Dm | Dm
Keep the world turnin' around

   Dm
Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night

But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights
             C
Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch
       Dm                                         A
Bobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back

           G                 Dm
Spare parts and broken hearts
                     A       | G | G | Dm | Dm 
Keep the world turnin' around

            G
Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
        Dm
Put her baby in the river let the river roll on
     G
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
        A
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed


 Dm
Mist was on the water low run the tide

Janey held her son down at the riverside
      C
Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone
     Dm                        A
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home

       Dm
As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything

Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring
      C
Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
              Dm                                            A
Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash


           G                 Dm
Spare parts and broken hearts
                     A       G 
Keep the world turnin' around
           G                 Dm
Spare parts and broken hearts
                     A       G | G | Dm
Keep the world turnin' around
