(NC) Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a (D) heart
You let a (A) little bitty woman go and tear you all a(E)part
I (A) warned you a thousand times
But, (D) you wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You (A) poor, broke, (E) mixed up mess of a (A) heart
I (A) watched her buy his ticket
In (D) Charlotte, North Carolina
I (A) heard her say, "One way, please, to (E) Denver"
(A) She's gone to meet that other guy
It (D) won't do us no good to cry
'Cause (A) she's wearin' his (E) ring on her (A) finger
--repeat chorus--
I (A) watched her tip the porter
As she (D) stepped aboard that midnight train
(A) Bound to take her far away for(E)ever
I (A) watched the taillight fade away
(D) Knowin' she was gone to stay
I (A) wish this broken (E) heart was leavin' (A) with her
--repeat chorus--
