A Song For The Drunk And Broken Hearted(Keyboard chords)

	        
 

(G Em C D)   

G Em C D 

Sweet Sunday afternoon 
September's golden brown 
Summer always fades too soon 
Like the laughter of a clown 

And shadows fill the room 
Where sorrows come to drown 
Your heart's a lead balloon 
As you sink another one down 

Am D 
I know it numbs the way you feel 
Blurs what is right and what is real 
And there's no love left you can steal 

Am D (maybe add a G) 

(Chorus)  

C D G Em 

For the joker laughs along 
As the jester's outsmarted 
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost 

And the sad man sings a song 
For the drunk and broken hearted 
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs  

(G Em C D)    

G Em C D 

Sweet Sunday afternoon 
And all that can be heard 
Is an old familiar tune 
Though you've forgotten half the words 

And sunlight floods the room 
Like a silent flock of birds 
And hope's a red balloon 
Disappearing through the clouds 

Am D 

I know it numbs the way you feel 
Blurs what is right and what is real 
And there's no one here to make a deal with 

Am D G (maybe) 

(Chorus) 

C D G Em 

For the joker laughs along 
And the jester's outsmarted 
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost 

Oh, and the sad man he sings a song 
For the drunk and broken hearted 
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs 

(C D G Em)   

C D G Em 

Yeah well, the joker he laughs along 
As the jester's outsmarted 
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost 

Oh, and the sad man he sings a song 
For the drunk and broken hearted 
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it costs 

Well the fool, he never knows how much it costs 

Ending in G
