[Verse 1]
G                C        D
There is a sound from the kitchen
           Am                          C     D
And it's a sound he's heard a thousand times before
G                 C      D
When he hears his mother crying
        Am                 C       D
He runs away and hides inside his room

[Prechorus 1]
Em                 C
But there is no escaping
    D                    G
The anger in his fathers voice
Em                     Am
And when the tears are falling
D                              B  Am  B
He falls down to his knees and prays


[Chorus 1]
     Em          Am
Just hold me and love me
D                   G     D
Touch this child of love
    Em               Am
And try your best to save this
       D
Broken home


[Verse 2]
G                   C         D
His little arms are black and blue
              Am               C         D
And there's a little cut right under his eye
G              C      D
Every night he lies awake
         Am                      C      D
And from downstairs the fighting starts again


[Prechorus 2]
Em                  C
Have you forgot the reason
D                         G
Why this little child was born?
Em                 Am
Cause if you go on fighting
D                      B    Am  B
You'll destroy this family


[Chorus 1]
     Em           Am
Just hold him and love him
D                   G     D
Touch this child of love
    Em               Am
And try your best to save this
       D
Broken home


[Chorus 2]
     Em             Am
Stop fighting, stop hurting
D           G     D
Try to love again
    Em               Am
And do your best to save this
       D     B
Broken home


[Bridge]
C      G             Am
If you ever hold him tight
        G              D
Let him feel your love again
F                 C     G
You will make him smile again. woah

Broken home


[Chorus 2]

Stop fighting, stop hurting

Try to love again

And do your best to save this
       D     B
