A Song For The Drunk And Broken Hearted

(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
