[Intro]
C F G C F G

[Verse]
C F G
Billy gave Sherry a band of gold,
C F G
Rougher than a bible belt road.
F G
Along come a boy, pretty as the devil,
C Cmaj9/E Am
She took his hand, and it all unraveled,

[Chorus]
F G C F G
There ain't no turnin' round, it's broke down.

[Verse]
C F G
Billy took the ring, put it down in his pocket,
C F G
Went down town and tried to hock it,
F G
And somewhere at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain,
C Cmaj9/E Am
There's a love note carved in a wedding ring.

[Chorus]
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Cmaj9/E Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
F G
There ain't no turnin' round,
C F G
It's broke down.

[Bridge]
F G
Ain't no tellin' where love goes,
C Cmaj9/E Am
Maybe down where the black river flows,
F G
Ain't comin' back around,
C F G
It's broke down.

[Verse]
C F G
Now there's baby in the back seat, and another on the way,
C F G
Sherry calls him Billy but that's not his name.
F G
She lies awake at night to the sound of her own heart,
C Cmaj9/E Am
The bedding is cold, but her blood runs hot.

[Chorus]
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Cmaj9/E Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered.
F G
There ain't no turnin' round,
C F G
It's broke down.

[Interlude]
F G C Cmaj9/E Am F G C F G C F G

[Verse]
C F G
On the other side of town two lovers lie still,
C F G
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill.
F G
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase,
C Cmaj9/E Am N.C.
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face.

[Chorus]
F G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C Cmaj9/E Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered.
F G
Broke down, torn and frayed,
C Cmaj9/E Am
Ain't nothin' left you could give away.

[Outro]
F G
There ain't no turnin' round,
C F G
It's broke down,
C F G
It's broke down,
C F G C
It's broke down,
