Intro: F   C G F   C   F   C G F   C 

G               F 
Once you were a straight shot 
  C     G            F 
A shiny quarter in a new slot 
C           G                    F 
Night would keep the dreams that you got 
    Am   G 
For afternoon 
                        F 
Then telling the truth got so hard 
C       G             F 
We were dancing in the backyard 
C      G               F 
Once I knew the end and the start 
    Am         G 
But now that's through 



           F              C          G 
Now you're broken and you don't understand 
        F                 C           G  
What is broken falls into place once again 
        F                  C         G         F 
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm 
 C         G         F 
Again and again and again 


      G                F 
Well, morning comes to clean up 
     C       G                  F 
Like nothing happened when your heart stopped 
     C       G               F 
Like all the lawyers calling all cops 
   Am       G 
To wave days through 
                        F 
So, close your eyes for this long 
C           G            F 
Something's mixed up and something's gone 
C    G             F 
Only finger can you count on 
    Am        G 
And one leaves two 


 
           F              C          G 
Now you're broken and you don't understand 
        F                 C           G  
What is broken falls into place once again 
        F                  C         G         F 
Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm 
 C         G         F 
Again and again and again 
  C            G            F 
I think I will break, but I mend 



Bridge: 
         Am 
And it's these most loved losses 
            C 
And they're just old coin tosses 
              Am          F               Am7        G 
And it's these most loved losses, are the hardest to carry
