Album: David Ball (1998)
[Verse]
E
If you're lost, and you're alone
A E
Let me sing you a song
B
You're not the only lonely one tonight
E
I can sympathize with you
A E
I know what you're goin' through
A E B E
I've been walkin' in your shoes all my life.
[Chorus]
E
I was born with a broken heart
A E
Born to lose right from the start
B
Raised on hand-me-down blues
A E
That's why I sing the way I do
Sad six string and a jukebox voice
A E
I'm the lonely people's choice
B
I was made to play the part
A B E
I was born with a broken heart.
[Verse]
E
If the sun, should ever shine,
A E
In your life, well friend that's fine
B
I hope you leave behind these troubled times that we've shared
E
Oh but don't look back for me
A E
I'm where I'm supposed to be
A E B E
As long as there's a lonely street, I'll be there.
[Chorus]
E
I was born with a broken heart
A E
Born to lose right from the start
B
Raised on hand-me-down blues
A E
That's why I sing the way I do
Sad six string and a jukebox voice
A E
I'm the lonely people's choice
B
I was made to play the part
A B E
I was born with a broken heart.
[Outro]
B
Yes I was made to play the part
A B E
I was born with a broken heart.
