Broken by Secondhand Serenade
Broken
This one is in standard tuning. It is rather easy.
I made up chord names because there are
no official names for them.
The trick to this song, is to mute the A string
on the ‘C’ chord.

Intro: C D E
C D
In the moonlight, your face it glows
E C
Like a thousand diamonds, I suppose
D E
And your hair flows like, the ocean breeze
C D E
Not a million fights could make me hate you
C
You’re invincible, yeah it’s true
D E
It’s in your eyes where I find peace
Chorus:
A D E
Is it broken, can we work it out
B
Let’s light up the town, scream out loud
A D E
Is it broken, can we work it out
B
I can see in your eyes you’re ready to break
(mute) C - D - E
Don’t look away
C D
So here we are now in a place where
E E E C D
The sun blends in, with the ocean thin
E
So thin we can stand
C D
Across from each other, together we’ll wonder
E C
If we will last these days
D E
If I asked you to stay would you tell me
C - D - E
You would be mine
C D
And time is all I ask for
E C - D - E
Time, I just need one more day
A D
And time, you’ve been crying too long
A
Time, and your tears wrote this song
D - E - B
Stay
(soft) C D E
In the moonlight, your face it glows
(Chorus)
Outro: C - D - E

NOTE: for beginners, on the last note of the verse, you can play this instead, its just
to finger and it sounds about the same, and another thing, try and mute the bottom 2
3 strings when playing, gives it that deeper sound almost like Dashboard or something. Good luck!!!
