D A
When you were born you were not alone
G
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet, but don't forget
D A D
You heard someone say it won't get better than this
D A
That was the sound of your father
A G
As he held you up to your mother
G
No one will ever know,
D A D
a love a pure as the one that you felt right then
D A Em
They held you up, they held you up
D A
And everybody else they fell to the wayside
D
This is the start the beginning
A
The prologue to the tale that you're spinning
Em D A
a million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling
G G G D D D A A A
Don't ever leave, cause if you do dear
Bm G
I guarantee that you'll regret the day you did
D
and you'll miss all the simple things
A
And you'll see everything you've ever loved
Bm
start fading till there's nothing left oh
Chorus:
Bm D A G Bm
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Bm D A
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Bm D A G Bm
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Bm D A
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories
Interlude -x4-: A D A D
D A
So now you're young and you feel alone
G
Despite friends family and all the good things now surrounding you
D A D
You can't help thinking that there's gotta be some more to do
D A
When all the things that you cherish
A G
Turn into burdens and there is
G
No other path to take,
D A D
you know what you've got to do but you don't know how
D A Em
They hold you back they hold you down
D A
And you're gonna feel bad but you know that you've gotta get out
D
This is your pain your dilemma
A
Do you stay in the town where they raised ya
Em D A
Or will you sail away, pull the anchor and go headed for the come-what-may?
G G G D D D A A A
You have to leave, cause if you don't dear
Bm G
you'll never see the things you read about in books
D
you saw the films and you were Hooked
A
but everything you want won't come to you
Bm
you realize now that you've gotta go see this through
Chorus:
Bm D A G Bm
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be

D A
So now you're old raising your own
G
Two souls to make yourself a home, you finally settled down
D A D
you've seen the world but your heart never left this town
D A
They have the eyes of their mother
A G
The kind of crooked teeth of their father
G
No one will ever know
D A D
a love as pure as the one that you feel for them
D A Em
You'll hold them up you'll hold them up
D A
And everybody else will fall to the wayside
D
There is no end no beginning
A
On this merry-go-round we call living
Em D A
Some day you will return, every single ounce of the love you were given
G G G D D D A A A
Someday they'll go, and when they leave home
Bm G
you will be grateful for the lesson that you learned
D
you had to travel half the world
A
to realize what you knew all along
Bm
that everything will end up where it belongs
Chorus:
Bm D A G Bm
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
