INTRO

G - G9   (x4)


G                   G9     G  G9   G       D7
I was born a broken-hearted boy, give or take an ounce
G                      G9     G     G9    G        D7     D74
And the world wouldn't give me a break waiting, ready to pounce

G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
I was born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
I was born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
         G  
Oooh in two

G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
If you're out wandering in the streets, knock on my window, it'll open
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
My bed is small, but so are we.  Let love lay us low -- here's to hoping

G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
You were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
You were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
         G  
Oooh in two


CHORUS

C                D7
Sometimes we get so confused
       G
We get taken for a ride
              C
We get worked over
C
Some of us come with new hearts
D7
Most of us come with used hearts
G                        C
Baby, why do you look so sad?


G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
There are men who will stand accused, but they won't be told the why
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
They were strong so were beaten down, but the sun look gold through blackened eyes

G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
They were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
They were born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
         G
Oooh in two


CHORUS

C                D7
Sometimes we get so confused
       G
We get taken for a ride
              C
We get worked over
C
Some of us come with new hearts
D7
Most of us come with used hearts
G                        C
Baby, why do you look so sad?


G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7
Were you born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
G                   G9     G         G9     G          D7      D74
Were you born with a broken heart, with a broken heart, sure was broken
         G
Oooh in two
