[Verse 1]
Em C
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
G D
It’s been a roller coaster ride
Em C
Another short November sun
G D
Lights a path through the autumn sky
Em C
Frozen in a moment
G D
Then spiral up or down
Em C
Trying to hold on steady
G D
Before smashing down into the ground
[CHORUS]
C D7 G Em
Broken crayons still color >>>>>>>>>>>
C D7 G Em
Broken hearts will mend >>>>>>>>>>>>
C D C G
You are more than your diagnosis
C D7 G
Shattered dreams will live again
[Verse 2]
Em C
Head is darting back and forth
G D
Swatting at enemies in the air
Em C
Try to shake the voices
G D
And the things that are not there
Em C
Running away from memories
G D
Through the forest of self-doubt
Em C
That grow with winter’s shadow
G D
Looking for the shortest way out
[CHORUS]
C D7 G Em
Broken crayons still color >>>>>>>>>>>
C D7 G Em
Broken hearts will mend >>>>>>>>>>>>
C D C G
You are more than your diagnosis
C D7 G
Shattered dreams will live again
[Verse 3]
Em C
The words you wrote for comfort
G D
Tell the story behind the walls
Em C
The lonely road you carved is there
G D
I hear the Blackbird call
Em C
He knows someday you will return
G D
To that place beside the creek
Em C
The naked branch of the sacred tree
G D
Will soon bring springs mystique
[CHORUS]
C D7 G Em
Broken crayons still color >>>>>>>>>>>
C D7 G Em
Broken hearts will mend >>>>>>>>>>>>
C D C G
You are more than your diagnosis
C D7 G
Shattered dreams will live again
