Broken Down Angel

Intro: E A E B E E

Verse 1:
    D                             E
She used to be someone you could depend on
   D                               E
To brighten up your coldest winter day
        D              B
But the one she leaned upon
        E                    A
Let her down – now has moved on
    E                   B            E    E
And morning brings her another empty day

Chorus:
          A      B           E
Now she’s only a broken down angel
      A      B                     E
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
      Dbm       Ab       A              B
She’s only someone, someone who’s gone wrong
      A      B                    [E – instrumental]
She’s only a child that’s lost her way

Instrumental: E A E B E

Verse 2:
    D                               E
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures
  D                                     E
A breath of spring to chase your blues away
    D               B
But now she bears a cross
      E                 A
For a love that she has lost
   E               B                     E    E
No sunshine in her life – just clouds of gray

Repeat chorus:
          A      B           E
Now she’s only a broken down angel

      A      B                     E
She’s only a bird that’s broke her wing
      Dbm      Ab       A              B
She’s only someone, someone who’s gone wrong
      A      B                     E   E
She’s only a child that’s lost her way
