Yeah, I got broken hands 
E          
Feel so loose and I feel so free 
D          A             D           A 
Running so fast that you can't catch me 
E 
Play the night like a dream machine 
D       A               D       A 
Play my guitar 'cause I feel so mean 
E                                  A 
Driving down the highway trying to get ahead  
       G         D         G  D 
And to shake the blues away 
      D      A            D      A 
Yeah, broken hands, I'm a broken man 
D  A     D         A 
Ah baby, where are we 
D       A          D     A 
Howling winds on a heavy sea 
E 
Always think that you got it made 
D           A       D           A 
I can never see you behind your shades 
E 
Fools are around me, the devil’s inside 
D       A            D   A 
So much craziness to exorcise

Let’s get small and get some loving done 
     G         D     G       D 
This life's so hard, hit and run 
A                              E 
There's nothing happening here anyway 
      A                                  B 
If we sit around much longer we're gonna slide away 
D 
Mesmerizing, washed out eyes, 
Users and losers, hypnotized 

E 
I like music that sounds so sweet 
D         A          D       A 
I like to dance, and move my feet 
E 
When I hear such a heavy sound 
D       A     D         A 
Come on baby, let's get down 
E                         A 
Drivin' down the highway, I'm just trying to get ahead 
       D  
And to shake these blues away 
        A                      E 
There's nothing happening here anyway 
D     A                 E 
Yeah, broken hands, I'm down and out 
A                                B 
Gimme a smile, and I'll pull you out 
G  D   G      D 
Yeah,  broken hands 
      D      A            D      A 
Yeah, broken hands, I'm a broken man 
Yeah, broken hands, I'm down and out 
Gimme a smile, and I'll pull you out
