Broken Window Serenade

Cadd9, Em (2x)


[Verse 1]

  Cadd9
A couple of pretty flowers, that’s what I brought I to you
             Em
I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view
        Cadd9
You had signs of depression, from a long line of sin
          Em                                                           Cadd9
And your face tells a story, ‘bout the places you have been, I love you so
                      Em
I thought you should know


[Verse 2]

         Cadd9
And that muddy waters flowin’, and as you take my hand
          Em
Past the creek down by the holler, through your daddy’s land
           Cadd9
And I could buy you a diamond, but I cannot change your world
    Em                                             Cadd9
‘Cuz I ain't got no money, you’ll never be my girl… no
                      Em
I thought you should know

Cadd9, Em


[Verse 3]

        Cadd9
You was gonna be a singer, and a big movie star
         Em
But you can’t catch no breaks baby, and Hollywood is hard
        Cadd9
Now you work down at the Time Out, off of 155
             Em                                                         Cadd9
And you’re dancing for your dollar, just tryin’ to stay alive, it hurts me so
                      Em
I thought you should know


[Verse 4]

       Cadd9
And You feed your addiction, with your crystal meth
       Em
And I plea for your life, as it takes you to your death
              Cadd9
You make your deal with the devil, as your looks begin to fade
            Em                                                               Cadd9
I saw you laughin’ through the tears, as you slowly slipped away, I watched you go
                      Em                    Cadd9                       Em
I thought you should know… yeah I watched you go… I thought you should know


[Break]

Cadd9, Em, Cadd9, Em


[Verse 5]

         Cadd9
And that cold rain is pourin’, as they lay you in a grave
        Em
I can barely recognize you, in your fragile state
        Cadd9
No more signs of depression, from a long time ago
        Em                                                       Cadd9
I throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
                      Em                 Cadd9                        Em
I thought you should know… there it was a rose… I thought you should know


[Break]

Cadd9, Em, Cadd9, Em


[Outro]

  Cadd9
A couple of pretty flowers, that’s what I brought to you
            Em                                               Cadd9... Em...
I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view…
