Chorus:
        A                                D
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart
          A                                       E     
You let a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
  A                               D 
I warned you a thousand times but you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind
    A            E         D         A  
You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart


      A                                D 
Yeah, I watched her buy her tickets in Charlotte, North Carolina
      A                                   E
And I heard her say, "One-way, please, to Denver"
      A                                   D
She's goin' to meet that other guy and it won't do us no good to cry
       A             E               A
'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger


Chorus


Well, I watched her tip the porter As she stepped aboard that midnight train 
bound to take her faraway forever
I watched the tail light fade away, knowing she was goin' to stray
And I wish this broken heart was leavin' with her

Chorus

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart
