Heard, Mark - House Of Broken Dreams guitar chord

House of Broken Dreams

Mark Heard

Album: High Noon

G C

Hear the whistle blow

G C

It echoes down my soul

Em C D

It's something I have always known

G C

Nothing sounds so sad

G C

A cry to the unknown

Em C D

The fundamental sigh of all who've gone this way before

(D-sus)- D C D G

Lay me down to sleep

(Dsus)- D D - C G

Come and comfort me

C D Em

I'll sleep in peace

C D (Dsus-D)

In a house of broken dreams

G C

I'm old enough to know

G C

That dreams are quickly spent

Em C D

Like a pouring rain on warm cement

G C

Or fingerprints in dust

G C

Nectar on the wind

Em C

D

Save them for tomorrow and tomorrow lets you down again

Em C G

Give me the reasons to go on

Em C

Soften the sorrow that shatters and bends

D Dsus-D C-G

And mends broken dreams

(etc.)

Sentimental hearts

Hungry for the past

Penniless at the wishing-well

Memories will last

And cover certain scars

Acquired in the daily grind of being what we are

(Chorus)
