[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ This song here, _ I kind of wrote about this, _ the first girl that ever broke my heart, you know,
that'll make a songwriter out of you right away, you know.
_ She gave me my ring back and told me that she thought maybe it needed some work done on it. _ _
_ _ _ I believed her.

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ As the cafe [D] was closing on _ _ _ a warm [E] summer night
and _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ Cathy [B] was cleaning _ [A] the spoons,
_ _ [D] the radio _ played [A] the hit parade
[B] and I hummed along with the [E] tune. _ _ _
[Dm] She asked [E] me to change [A] the station, _ _ _
[D] said the song just drove [E] her insane,
_ _ _ [A] but it wasn't just the music [D] playing,
it _ [E] was me she was trying [A] to blame.
_ And [D] the sky _ is black [A] and still now,
_ [D] up on the hill when [Bm] the angels [E] sang, _ _
_ [D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle _ _ _
looks just [E] like a _ [A] diamond ring, _ _ _
[D] but it's far, _ [E] far [A] from me. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, leaned on [D] my left leg _ in the parking [E] lot dirt
_ and _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Cathy [E] was closing [A] the lights.
_ _ _ [D] A June bug flew [A] from the warmth that once knew
_ [B] and I wished for once I [E] weren't right. _ _
_ [D] Why, we [E] used to laugh [A] together _
and [D] we'd dance to any [E] old song. _ _ _
[A] Well, you know, _ she still [D] laughs with me, _ _
[E] but she waits just a second [A] too long. _ _
[D] And the sky is black [A] and still now,
_ [C#] up [D] on the hill when the angels [E] _ sang, _ _
[D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle
_ _ _ looks just [E] like a _ [A] diamond ring,
_ _ but [D] it's far, _ [E] far [A] from me.

I started _ [D] the engine, _ _ _ _ I gave [E] it some gas, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[D] and Cathy [E] was closing _
[A] her purse. _ _
[D] We hadn't gone far [A] in my beat up old car
[B] and I was prepared for [E] the worst. _ _ _ _
[D] Will you [E] still see me [A] tomorrow?
No, _ _
[D] I got too [E] much to _ do.
_ [A]
Well, the question ain't really [D] a question _ _ _
[E] if you know the _ [A] answer to. _ _ _
[D] And the sky is black [A] and still now, _ _
[D] up on the hill when the [E] angels sang, _ _ _
[F#m] [D] ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle _ _ _
looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring, _ _ _
but [D] it's far, _ [E]
far [A] from me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank you. _
