-----------------------E
Broken pieces, break into me
---------------------------
So imperfectly what you should be
---------------------D
I don't want you to go
-----------------------------------E
Don't wanna see you back out in the cold
---------------------------------------D
Air you're breathing out fades you to grey
---------------E
Don't run away, find me
--------------------------------------------------B
I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
---------------------------E
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
----------------E
I'm all you need
------------------------E
Broken pieces, break into me
------------------------E
So imperfectly what you should be
----------------------------------------------------Abm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
-----------------------------------E
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
--------------------D
Let's enlighten the night
-----------------------------E
We can fall away, slip out of sight
---------------------E
When you drop your guard
-------------------------------------
Melt into time, so intertwined, quiet
--------------------------------------------------B
I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
---------------------------C#m
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
----------------E
I'm all you need
------------------------E
Broken pieces, break into me
------------------------E
So imperfectly what you should be
----------------------------------------------------Abm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
------------------------------------------------------
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
Instrumental interlude... eventually there's a key change:
------------------------F#
Broken pieces, break into me
------------------------F#
So imperfectly what you should be
----------------------------------------------------Bbm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
-----------------------------------F#
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
Repeat the last two lines without little or no accompaniment.
You kinda just have to work out a nice picking pattern for yourself; whatever
works best! I play something like this:
--------0-----------------|
----0------0---0----------|
--1---1------1------------|
--------------------------|
--------------------------|
0-------------------------|
I transition to the next chord on the last note, generally.
Well, that's it!
Good luck and happy playing!
