Gorgeous song. I worked out the chords a few minutes ago and thought someone else
might benefit from them somewhere down the line.
Broken Open
Written by Greg Wells, Adam Lambert, and Evan Bogart.
Produced by Greg Wells.
Intro: E..... (continuous)
E-------D------A----------E
Broken pieces, break into me
E----D---------A--------------E
So imperfectly what you should be
---------------------D
I don't want you to go
------------A-----------------------E
Don't wanna see you back out in the cold
---------------------------------------D
Air you're breathing out fades you to grey
----------A-----E
Don't run away, find me
Abm---------A----------------------E-------------------B
I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
Abm---------A------------------E
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
------------B----E
I'm all you need
--------D-------A---------E
Broken pieces, break into me
------D---------A---------E
So imperfectly what you should be
G--------------A--------------------------E------------Abm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
G-------------A----------------------E
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
--------------------D
Let's enlighten the night
-------------A----------------E
We can fall away, slip out of sight
---------------------E
When you drop your guard
----------D------------A--------E-------
Melt into time, so intertwined, quiet
Abm---------A----------------------C#m-------------------B
I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
Abm---------A------------------C#m
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
------------B----E
I'm all you need
--------D-------A---------E
Broken pieces, break into me
------D---------A---------E
So imperfectly what you should be
G--------------A--------------------------E------------Abm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
G-------------A----------------------E-------------------
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
Instrumental interlude... eventually there's a key change:
F#--------E-------B---------F#
Broken pieces, break into me
------E---------B---------F#
So imperfectly what you should be
A--------------B--------------------------F#------------Bbm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
A-------------B----------------------F#
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
Outro: 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:
E
--------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!
