Intro
(D riff with accompanying D chord)
D
With everything ahead of us
D
We left everything behind
D
But nothing that we needed
D
At least not at this time
G
And now the feeling that I'm feeling
D
Well it's feeling like my life is finally mine
G D
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive
CHORUS
G
Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
G
Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
D
I didn't know what I was looking for
D
So I didn't know what I'd find
D
I didn't know what I was missing
D
I guess you've been just a little too kind
G
And if I find just what I need
D
I'll put a little peace in my mind
G
Maybe you've been looking too
D
Or maybe you don't even need to try
CHORUS
G
Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
G
Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
(“Solo” Quiet strums, lead guitar picks notes)
D
With everything in the past
D
Fading faster and faster until it was gone
D
Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along
G
But everything I've been working for
D
Was only worth nickels and dimes
G D
But if I had a minute for every hour that I've wasted
I'd be rich in time, I'd be doing fine
CHORUS
G
‘Cause Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
G
Without you I was broken
D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side x2
