A     C     D     F


[Verse 1]
A                 C              D     F
I'm wondering how long I can get by
A                  C                D       F
Seems so wrong but I know I'll be alright
                     A
Only been down for a minute
                       C
Seems so long when I'm in it
                 D        F
Holdin' onto the ticket


[Pre Chorus]
                        A
Some things are hard to get
                      C
Some nights that I regret
                        D      F (once)
But I'm cleaning up the mess


[Chorus]
N.C.
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why
N.C.
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)


[Verse 2]
A                 C                       D      F
So caught up I've got my back against the wall
A               C                         D      F
Losing hope I'm broke with no one else to call


[Pre Chorus]
                        A
Some things are hard to get
                     C
Some nights that I regret
                        D      F
But I'm cleaning up the mess


[Chorus]
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)


[Bridge]
N.C.
1 to 99 years old
N.C.
Yeah, we all cry and we all hold on to what we can before it's gone
N.C.
Yeah let me get a little technical you've got to understand
N.C.
You've gotta love the world we got to work together
N.C.
And make each other whole


[Chorus]
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)
             A               C                        D     F
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why
          A            C                      D     F (once)
But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try
