[ver1]
[Em] Been mending bones [C] been mending [G] fences.
[Em] Made the short go [C] in Las Cruces [G] tonight.
[Em] It's Hotel Ford [C] back row last [G] spot.
[Em] A dome light and a view [C] I'll be [G] alright

[Em] The thing is,..We [C] just fool [G] ourselves.
[Em] Throw hope up [C] there and let it [G] fly.
[Em] When your on empty, [C] cold, and [G] lonely.
[Em] You'll cut some [C] corners.. just to get [G] by.

(chorus)
[G] Broken dreams and broken promises.
[D] Standing at a corner all alone.
[Am] West Texas wind is always blowing.
[C] But it never blows me home.
.

[ver2]
[Em].Too many turnarounds [C] leaves you [G] no direction.
[Em] Maybe too much sky [C] maybe too much [G] rain.
[Em] Worn out map of [C] a hometown of [G] strangers.
[Em] Most won't even [C] remember my [G] name.

[Em] Our hearts are just [C] like a [G] rodeo.
[Em] There ain't no [C] lost and [G] found.
[Em] When they find out [C] that you'll get [G] up.
[Em] Both will put you on something that'll throw you [C] on the [G] ground.

[bridge]
[D] It's a rank pen, [Am] and I draw Crossroads
[D] And [Am] that's where,... I'm at tonight.

(chorus)
[G] Broken dreams and broken promises.
[D] Standing at a corner all alone.
[Am] West Texas wind is always blowing.
[C] But it never blows me home.
