Broken Mess-The Classic Crime
CAPO 1
VERSE
C Dm
He can't sleep, he can't eat
Am
He keeps thinking about her
C G F
Behind the locked door of her bedroom
Am C
As she knowingly tortures the shell
G F
That is left of her bridegroom
VERSE 2
And what did he do to deserve
This whore of a wife who parades
Her disgrace to his face now
When he loved her and gave up his life
In more ways than she knows how
CHORUS
G C Am
And all I can say is that love is a terrible art
Dm G
It's a hook in the heart that can drag you on broken glass
C Am
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
Dm G Am
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess
VERSE
Where is God in this rot?
Depraved she commits the most heinous
Of sins and breaks her vows
But he loves her despite all the crimes
She devises in his house
VERSE 2
Where is God? I've been taught
That He's close to the broken
It's true I have spoken with Him some
When I look in my brother's eyes
I can see where his love comes from
CHORUS
And all he can say is that love is a terrible art
It's a hook in the heart that can drag you on broken glass
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess
BRIDGE
F G
But he has mercy on her lover
C
And does not bleed him dry
Dm Am G
A credit to his self-control if it were me
That monster would probably die
CHORUS
Love is a beautiful thing
She can make your heart sing
When you're walking on broken glass
OUTRO
C
She will open your eyes
Am
Make your heart feel alive
Dm
Point you toward the sunrise
G
Help you leave all this broken mess behind
F G Em
Love is a beautiful thing
F C G
Will you leave your broken mess behind?
F G Em
Oh, love is a beautiful thing
F C G
Will you leave your broken mess behind?
F G Em
Oh, love, oh, love
F C G
Will you leave your broken mess behind?
F G Em
Oh, love, oh, love
F C G
Will you leave your broken mess behind?
