THE BROKEN
As recorded by Chris Janson
(From the 2025 Album WILD HORSES)
Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
G Em7 C
[Verse 1]
G
There's a man on the street I see every mornin'
Em7
He plays guitar and a harp, he's got a story
D
He didn't get here from a bottle or a bad drug
C
He lost his job and his wife in the same month
G D/F#
And that girl behind the counter that's messing up your order
Em7
She heard her husband was runnin' 'round on her
D
Left her with the kids and the bills and the rent
C
Now she's serving blue plates and workin' double shifts
C
Yeah
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Give a break, give a break to the broken
Em7 D
Don't know where they've been, no way of knowin'
C
How much they're hurtin' through the hell they're goin'
D G Em7 C
So, give a break, give a break to the broken
[Verse 2]
G
There's a family on their knees down in Memphis
Em7
Their girl's been in and out of hospital treatments
D
They might be late for work or run a red light
C D
But to say the least, they've got somethin' else on their mind
G
And there's a soldier, can't be older than twenty-three
Em7
Trying to fit in again from the Middle East
D
Nightmares come when he hits the sack
C D
He might be home but he ain't all the way back
