Em D/F# G7 Am7 Everything was wonderful Cmaj7 D Em When you were in my life Em D/F# G7 Am7 Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, Cmaj7 D Em But then we end up in a fight Everywhere I look I see problems Where I’ve never seen before The cracks in the sidewalk when I get home My key don’t even fit the door Chorus: Am The moon don't shine, it's broken down Em The clouds are crying, they're broken down The car won't start, it's broken down And this shattered heart, it's broken down My whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block I stopped by the church that I used to go inside, but even that door was locked So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call Chorus: The moon don't shine, it's broken down The clouds are crying, they're broken down The car won't start, it's broken down And this shattered heart, it's broken down My whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down Said my whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down Until you come back, come back to me I'm going to be broken down Until you come back, come back to me I'm going to be broken down Chorus: The moon don't shine, it's broken down The clouds are crying, they're broken down The car won't start, it's broken down And this shattered heart, it's broken down My whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down My whole damn world, it's broken down Since you left me, girl, I've broken down It's broken down It's broken down You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Am7  Cmaj7  D  Em  F#  G7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
