Intro: (G) (C) (G) (C)
(G) I don't have to hide it
(C) Yes, it hurts inside
It's (G) not the way I'd like to (D) feel
But in (G) love you take a risk
That your (C) heart could break like this
Or you (G) just don't (D) get behind the (G) wheel
'Cause I'd rather have it (C/G) brok(G)en
Br(C/G)ok(G)en
Br(C/G)oken in (C) pieces on the ground
I'd rather have it (C/G) ach(G)in'
Sh(C/G)ak(G)in'
Makin' that (D) melancholy sound
If I'm gonna (C/G) taste (G) that (C/G) sweet, sweet (G) honey
I'm (C) bound to feel the sting
I'd rather have it (C) broken
Br(G)oken
Than to never (D) feel the (G) pain
(G) (C) (G) (C)
(G) You can calculate
How much (C) love your heart can take
And (G) still escape before you (D) fall
But, it (G) you don't cross the line
There's a (C) chance you'll never find
The (G) kind of (D) love that's worth it (G) all
'Cause I'd rather have it (C/G) brok(G)en
Br(C/G)ok(G)en
Br(C/G)oken in (C) pieces on the ground
I'd rather have it (C/G) ach(G)in'
Sh(C/G)ak(G)in'
Makin' that (D) melancholy sound
If I'm gonna (C/G) taste (G) that (C/G) sweet, sweet (G) honey
I'm (C) bound to feel the sting
I'd rather have it (C) broken
Br(G)oken
Than to never (D) feel the (G) pain
Even when I'm (Am) all a(C)lone
Listenin' to the (G) mornin' (C) come
I'd rather have it br(G)oken
Br(C)oken
Than to have a (D) heart of (G) stone
'Cause I'd rather have it (NO CHORD) broken - broken
Broken in pieces on the ground
I'd rather have it achin' - shakin'
Makin' that (D) melancholy sound
If I'm gonna (C/G) taste (G) that (C/G) sweet, sweet (G) honey
I'm (C) bound to feel the sting
I'd rather have it (C) broken
Br(G)oken
Than to (D) never feel the (G) pain
