Intro: G Em (2x) 

       G             Em                G          Em 
If you think we're defeated and you're all out of faith 
        G                Em              C   G 
And the straights of our love, you can't navigate 
                  D             G 
Darling, put your broken heart away 

                   Em              G             Em 
If you wake up one morning and the tears in your eyes 
     G             Em             C         G 
They fall 'til the rivers in your heart ran dry 
                  D             G 
Darling, put your broken heart away 

         Bm            Em  C       G           D 
Does the time pass you by, slow as down in Caroline 
         C              Em                 C      Em 
How many trains will it take before you're taken away 
          C            G      D 
Does that train always run on time 

  G                Em              G            Em 
I wear mine like a tattoo, like an old bad luck charm 
       G                 Em       C            G 
'Til I see you with some other cowgirl on your arm 
                  D             G 
Then I'll take my broken heart away
