[VERSE 1]

G                            G/F#
I stood in the street in the pouring rain
Em7                      Cadd9
Didn't give a damn about anything
       G          G/F#
I said take me,
               Em7     Cadd9
Oh Lord, just take me

[VERSE 2]

       G
I went back in the house
      G/F#
Picked up this guitar
     Em7
And somehow my fingers found
      Cadd9
Their way to my heart
       G          G/F#
And it saved me
            Em7      Cadd9
Oh Lord, it saved me

[PD  CHORUS]

C/G                        D
    I'm not proud of my mistakes
C/G                             D
    But thanks to you I've got so much to say

[CHORUS]

          G                    G/F#
Cause the best songs come from broken hearts
     Em7               Cadd9
From busted dreams and beat up guitars
     G
From times like these
         G/F#
When I'm down on my knees
     Em7
It's true                                          NO C THIS TIME THROUGH
   G
Ya gotta dig deep within
    G/F#
The well of your soul
   Em7
To find the will to sing the words
     Cadd9
That only you know
      G                  G/F#
About going through hell and
                   Em7      D
Living to tell the truth
        C/G        G         A    D G
But the best songs come from broken hearts

[VERSE 3]

  G
I fell for a dream
       G/F#
It was not what it seemed
       Em7
By the time I woke up
       Cadd9
I had lost everything
            G                   G/F#
Thought I'd die without you
              Em7               Cadd9
But I came to life without you

[VERSE 4]

           G                G/F#
Yeah cause God has a way of working things out
 Em7                       Cadd9
If not for the music where would I be now
          G                     G/F#
I'm gonna write about you
                  Em7           Cadd9
You bet I'm gonna write about you
