Intro: (G)  (C)  (G)  (D) x 2

I see my (G) mom and dad’s (C) wedding picture
(G) (C) Hanging in the (G) hall (C) (G) (D)
That (G) picture of (C) happiness tries to (G) sell it
But it (C) doesn’t tell it (G) all (C) (G) (D)
It’s been (Em) 22 years since they (C) walked down the aisle
Now (Em) they seldom talk and I (D) never see ‘em smile
They’re (G) living their (C) lives in the (G) land of the br(D)oken(G)hearted (C) (G) (D)

My old (G) man gave me a (C) job right out of (G) high school
Just (C) like his old (G) man did (C) (G) (D)
It’s a (G) dead-end str(C)eet of barely making (G) ends meet (C)
That I just can’t (G) live with (C) (G) (D)
Now we can (Em) hang around here and (C) wind up the same
Or (Em) kick it in gear girl and (D) outrun the pain

We’re (G) leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted
(Em) Lettin’ our (D) motors (C) run
The (G) sea of (C) tears has (G) finally (D) parted
(Em) Baby our (D) time has (C) come
We’re (Em) getting out now while we (C) still have forever
For (G) you and me girl, (D) it’s now or never
We’re (G) leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted

(G)  (C)  (G)  (D)

It’s a (G) lottery ticket (C) chance of getting (G) out
And I (C) never met a (G) winner (C) (G) (D)
No (G) nothing ever (C) changes around here but the (G) weather 
and (C) what they had for (G) dinner (C) (G) (D)
It’s a (Em) chain of broken dreams and (C) we were born to break it
That (Em) bitter pill they’re dealing, we’re (D) not gonna take it

We’re (G) leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted
(Em) Lettin’ our (D) motors (C) run
The (G) sea of (C) tears has (G) finally (D) parted
(Em) Baby our (D) time has (C) come
We’re (Em) getting out now while we (C) still have forever
For (G) you and me girl, (D) it’s now or never
We’re (G) leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted

Solo

We’re (G) leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted
(Em) Baby we’re (D) leaving, (C) just you and me
Yeah we’re (G) leaving the (C) land
(G) Leaving the (D) land
(G) Leaving the (C) land of the (G) broken(D)hearted

Repeat And Fade Out...
