[Verse]

G
Jingle, jangle, pocketful of metal
                          C
Johnny’s in the basement, hooking up
 the kettle
C                       G    
Thinking to himself, “I guess I 
         Em         C
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     
Walking to the bank, she’s 
              Em      C
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                            
High on something heavy, she’s 
  C
flying like a starling
C                           
Coming down the stairs, she’s 
  G                  Em        C
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           
If you got a loonie, he’ll tell 
       Em       C
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                     
Were we landing on the moon or 
 G               D
standing at the bar?
     Bm                     C     
It’s four in the morning, I don’t 
                           D
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                                 
Walking from the bank while we’re 
G              Em         C
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
