[Verse]

G                                         
Jingle, jangle, pocketful of metal
                          C                          
Johnny's in the basement, hooking up the kettle
C                       G             Em         C            
Thinking to himself, 'I guess I gotta settle for less'
          D 
He's a mess

G                                      
Jenny, Jenny, a plastic bag of pennies
                         C
Roll 'em in brown paper, turn 'em into twenty
C                          G                   Em      C
Walking to the bank, she's knocking, 'Is there anybody here?
       D
Have I made myself clear?'

[Chorus]

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

[Verse]

G                                          
Charlene, Charlene, everybody's darling
G                              C                          
High on something heavy, she's flying like a starling
C                             G                  Em        C                
Coming down the stairs, she's tripping through a chemistry class
         D        
Life's a blast

G
Billy's down from Sydney and, damn, he's looking handsome
G                        C                      
Stumbling down Portland, holding it for ransom
C                    G                  Em       C        
If you got a loonie, he'll tell you the dirtiest joke
              D                  
'Hey man, can I bum a smoke?' 

[Chorus]   
                           
    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

[Bridge]

    D                        Em                    
You never see the wound, you only see the scar
        C                      G               D         
Were we landing on the moon or standing at the bar?
     Bm                     C                                D       
It's four in the morning, I don't know where I am or who you are

G   C   G   C

[Verse]

G
Last chance landlord, renting out a closet
G                      C
Picking up the weekly, making the deposit
C                                 G              Em         C
Walking from the bank while we're headed for the National Exchange
    D
Ahh This world is strange

[Chorus]

G                 
broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken

    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken
  
    G                 
I'm broke, I know I'm broke
            C
But I'm not broken
