Song: Broken Bicycles
By:   Tom Waits

{ 3/4 time }

[intro:]  |Cm  |Cm  |Db  |Db  |G7  |G7(b9 b13) |     |
 
[verse: 1]
|Cm        |       |G        |       |
  Broken bicycles, old busted chains
|Fm7          |Bb       |G7        |Cm    |
  With rusted handlebars out in the rain
|Cm            |        |G       |     |
  Somebody must have an orphanage for
|Fm7                |Bb7        |Eb       |G7     |
   All these things that nobody wants any more
|C             |C7       |Fm   |Fm7    |
  September is reminding July
|G7             |         |Cm7     C7  | 
 It's time to be saying goodbye
|Fm7       |Bb7   |Eb                 | Gdim7   | 
 Summer is gone,    but our love will remain   
|Fm7              |Bb7      |Db7       |G7    |   
   Like old broken bicycles out in the rain
 
[:]   |Cm   |Cm   |Db  |Db   |
      |Cm   |Cm   |Db  |Db   ||G7   |G7(b9 b13) |      |
 
[verse: 2] 
|Cm       |       |G            |       |
 Broken bicycles, don't tell my folks
|Fm7            |Bb         G7                  |Cm     |
  There's all those playing cards pinned to the spokes
|Cm         |              |G         |      |
  Laid down like skeletons out on the lawn  
|Fm7                |Bb7       |Eb           |G7   |
    The wheels won't turn when the other has gone
|C               |C7        |Fm     |Fm7   |
  The seasons can turn on a dime
|G7           |          |Cm7   |C7   |
  Somehow I forget every time
|Fm7             |Bb7            |Eb                  |Gdim7  |
  For all the things that you've given me will always stay
|Fm7        |Bb        |Db7       |G7     |
 Broken but I'll never throw them away 
 
[coda:]  |Cm  |Cm  |Db |Db  |G7  |G7(b9 b13) |G  Cm  |Cm   {finish}
