Year: 2000 - Album: The Essential Bob Dylan (Rm) (2CD)
Written by Bob Dylan
E7 Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs A7 E7 Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds B7 A7 Ain't no use jivin', ain't no use jokin' E7 Everything is broken E7 Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates A7 E7 Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts B7 A7 Broken words never meant to be spoken E7 Everything is broken E7 Seems like every time you stop and turn around A7 Something else has just hit the ground E7 Broken cutters, broken saws, broken buckles, broken laws A7 E7 Broken bodies, broken bones, broken voices on broken phones B7 A7 Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin' E7 Everything is broken E7 Every time you leave and go off some place A7 Things fall to pieces in my face E7 Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows A7 E7 Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules B7 A7 Hound dog howlin', bullfrog croakin' E7 Everything is broken
