“Broken”
Jack Johnson
D
With everything ahead of us
We left everything behind
But nothing that we needed
At least not at this time
D G
And now the feeling that I’m feeling
G D
Well it’s feeling like my life is finally mine
Em G D
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive
Em
Without you I was broken,
Em G D
But I’d rather be broke down with you by my side. (x2)
I didn’t know what I was looking for
So I didn’t know what I’d find
I didn’t know what I was missing
I guess you’ve been just a little too kind
And if I find just what I need
I’ll put a little peace in my mind
Maybe you’ve been looking too
Or maybe you don’t even need to try
Without you I was broken,
But I’d rather be broke down with you by my side. (x2)
INSTRUMENTAL
With everything in the past
Fading faster and faster until it was gone
Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along
Because everything I’ve been working for
Was only worth nickels and dimes
But if I had a minute for every hour that I’ve wasted
I’d be rich in time; I’d be doing fine.
Without you I was broken,
But I’d rather be broke down with you by my side. (x4)
