Broken Horses chords by Brandi Carlile

[Intro]

D  F  G  D
 
[Verse]

   D                                 C
I wear my father's leather on the inside of my skin
       G                         
I'm a tried and weathered woman, 
       F               C
but I won't be tried again
 
       D                              
Don't think that you can come for me 
         C 
without your Sunday best
          F                        
You had better call your priest and 
          C
hope the devil gets the rest
         D
Before I do
 F                 G  D
Ohhh, and I will do
 
 
[Verse]

        D                          
I have worn the jester's bells and 
        C
I have banished with the fools
        F               
I have worshiped at the 
              C
altar of the puppet master's rules
 
        D                              
I have held my tongue too many scenes 
   C 
before the final act
         F                          
With my children in the cheap seats 
       C
and a zipper on my back
           D
Thanks to you
F               G  D
No thanks to you
 
 
[Chorus]

 D                     G
Tethered in wide open spaces
                          Bb
And fields that lead for miles
 
 Bb             Am          D  D
Right into the barrel of a gun
 
 Bb              Am
Mendin' up your fences with my
 D      C       Bb
Horses runnin' wild
 
Bb           Am               D  F  G  D
Only broken horses know to run
 
 
[Verse]

        D                        C
I have ever so politely treaded softly for your grace
        F                              
I have whispered through the tears and 
         C
pleaded sweetly to your face
 
       D                        
It is time to spit you out like 
          C
lukewarm water from my mouth
        F                      
I will always taste the apathy, 
    C
but I won't pass it down
        D       F
It dies with you
   G  D
You
 
 
[Chorus]

 D                     G
Tethered in wide open spaces
                          Bb
And fields that lead for miles
 
 Bb             Am          D  D
Right into the barrel of a gun
 
 Bb              Am
Mendin' up your fences with my
 D      C       Bb
Horses runnin' wild
 
Bb           Am             D  D
Only broken horses know to run
 
D  C  Em  F
D  C  Em  F
D  C  Em  F
D  C  Am  F
 
 
[VERSE]

       D                       
Oh, I wear my father's leather 
          C
on the inside of my skin
       G                         
I'm a tried and weathered woman, 
       F                C
but I won't be tried again
 
       D                             
Don't think that you can come for me 
         C
without your Sunday best
             F                           
And you had better call your priest and 
          C
hope the devil gets the rest
         D
Before I do
      F                    G  D
Ohhh ohh ohh, and I will do
 
 
[Chorus]

 D                F
Tethered in wide open spaces
 G                    Bb
Fields that lead for miles
 
 Bb             Am          D  D
Right into the barrel of a gun
 
 Bb              Am
Mendin' up your fences with my
 D      C       Bb
Horses runnin' wild
 
Bb           Am             D
Only broken horses know to run
