Em  D   G7      Am7
Everything was wonderful
Cmaj7         D      Em
When you were in my life
Em  D   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
