Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Broken
CAPO: 3rd Fret
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
INSTRUMENTAL: F C G F C F C G F C
G F
I wish I were a freeway
C G F
Laid out clearer than a bright day
C G F
I'd run wide open down this causeway
Am G
Like brand new
F
Singing louder than the whole block
C G F
All my love would be a straight shot
C G F
Night would dream the dreams that I got
Am G
And so would you
CHORUS:
F C G
But I'm broken and I 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
Again and again
F C G
'Cause I'm broken and I 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
Again and again and again
C G F
Again and again and again
C G F
I think I will break, but I mend
