[C]
I'm going to sing a song called Broken Hearted People.
Broken hearted people always seem to drink
[Em] and drown those sorrows.
[F] It ain't as easy [C] as you think.
Living with a life is a hard old way to go.
[Em] Laughing just keeps from crying.
[F] Ain't no way to [G] grow old.
[F] So take me to [C] a barroom driver.
[F] Set me on [C] a stool.
I can't be [C] her man, [Am] I'm damned [F] if [G] I be [C] a fool.
They say that whiskey ain't the best way.
But then I ain't too smart to [Em] think I just found out
she [F] was lying [Dm] from [C] the start.
So if this is nothing but a bad joke,
looking [F] for [C] a laugh,
[Em] well hold on to your lampshade, darling,
[F] cause I'm looking for [G] a hat.
So [F] take me [C] to a barroom driver.
[F] Set me on a [C] stool.
[F] I can't be [C] her man, [Am] I'm damned [F] if I be [C] a fool.

[C]
If this taxi's moving, because I have got no time to lose,
[Em] there's no time to be choosy.
You [F] know that any old bar [C] will do.
I'm looking to get silly.
I'm looking to get loose.
[D]
And [Em] if I don't get it done, darling,
[F] I can look at [G] all you are.
[F] Now take me to [C] a barroom driver.
[F] Set me [C] on a stool.
[F] I can't be [C] her man, [Am] I'm damned [F] if [G] I be [C] a fool.
[F] Take me to a barroom driver.
Set me on [C] a stool.
