And You have bro ken me (Gmaj7)all the way down,

And (F#m)some

fight have you (G)gave

And in the (A)morn ing

when you (G)turn in,

I’ll be (A)far to sea.

And you have bro ken me (Gmaj7)all the way down,

you’ll be the (Bm)last

you’ll (Gmaj7)see.

And you have (Bm)bro ken me (Gmaj7)all the way now.

You’ll be the (Bm)last,

you’ll (Gmaj7)see.

And (F#m)what

And in the (A)morn ing

I’ll be (A)out of reach.

And in the (A)dark ness

when you (G)find this,

I’ll be (A)far to sea.

And you have (Bm)bro ken me (Gmaj7)all the way down.

You’ll be the (Bm)last,
