Broken Hearted People - Guy Clark
C
Now broken hearted people always seem to drink and
Em F G C
tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think
C
But living with a liar is a hard old way to go
Em F G
Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old
Chorus
F C F C
So take me to a barroom driver set me on a stool
F C C/B Am F G C
If I can't be her man I'm damned if I'll be her fool
C
They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart
Em F G C
to think I just found out she was lyin' from the start
C
So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh
Em F G
hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat
Chorus
C
So get this taxi movin' cause I got no time to lose
Em F G C
there's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do
C
cause I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose
Em F G
and if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you
Chorus
