Intro: 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:
(nc)
'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why
(nc)
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

             A               C                        D     F

(Put me back together, put me back together)
          A            C                      D     F
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)

Yeah, we all cry and we all hold on to what we can before it's gone

Chorus:
             A               C                        D     F
