Chorus:
Em G A7
Broke and a joke, Broke and a joke, Broke and a jo-oke (X2)
G A7
Perpetually on the outside looking in
G A7
Is this what you get from a lifetime of sin
G A7
I think of the things that I wanna be
G A7
All I come up with is I wanna be free
G A7
Of the shame, the guilt, and the depression
G A7
And overcome my failure obsession
CHORUS
It'd probably be funny to someone that isn't me
But I wade through the waters of misery
Dark waters rise but I'm the captain of this vessel
Down with the ship I go and with these demons I wrestle
Drowning these problems is no way to survive
I feel like I'm 40 but I'm only 25
CHORUS
I must be a ghost because you walk right through me
Words fall on deaf ears you don't hear my plea
Lost in the shuffle, just a joker in the pack
Can't write you a symphony I'm a musical hack
But I'll poor my heart out onto four strings
And maybe I'll finally say all the *right things* (strum out, pause)
...Not likely
CHORUS, end with
Em Em
Broke and a joke, Broke and a joke
G G
Broke and a joke, Broke and a joke,
A7 Em~
Broke and a juh-uh-oh-oh-ke
