Broken From The Start by Jon Foreman
Broken From The Start
Capo:no capo
B5
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Verse 1
B5 D5 Asus2
Life is a gift like fresh cut roses
B5 D5 Asus2
Cut from the branch and brought inside
G D5/A G D5/A
It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase
G Asus4 B5
When our cords are cut that's when we start to die (oh)
Lately death and life get so confusing
I can't tell the difference here tonight
Lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death
And when time is dead I cease to be alive
Chorus:
G A D5/A G
If you hide yourself deep inside
D5/A G
Deep inside
G A D5/A G
In time you've got nothing left to hide
D5/A G
There's nothing left inside
G A
Tonight, honey
Am G
I'm gonna break your heart
G A G
Mine was broken from the start
A B5
Broken from the start (Oh)
Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1)
Choice is the only thing we're given
For one to live another dies
One road says, "Hello"
The other says, "Goodbye"
And the rose that you don't choose begin to die (Oh, oh)
Chorus 2 (Same as Chorus 1 except where noted)
If you hide yourself deep inside
Deep inside
In time you've got nothing left to hide
It dries up inside
Tonight, honey
I'm gonna break your heart
Mine was broken from the start
A G
Broken from the start
A G
Broken from the start
A B5
Broken from the start
Verse 3 (Same as other verses except where noted)
They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing
They might pay a little to hear you cry
If you do it long enough
F#m Bm <- - - NOTE THIS CHANGE
They might even pay attention
But they still won't pay respect until you die, die
Chorus 3 (Same as Chorus 1)
If you hide yourself deep inside
Deep inside
In time you've got nothing left to hide
It’s all dead inside
Tonight, honey
I'm gonna break your heart
Mine was broken from the start
Broken from the start

If you are a beginner: Don't let it intimidate you! Let it be a challenge!
Steps to master:
- Listen to the track until it's familiar
- practice switching between chords smoothly and quickly (start slow and clean)
- then try to play the song with the track
- Then play the song without the track until you are comfortable
- finally play it with the track again.
- have fun with it!
If you don't know how to read chord charts: example D xx0232 means →
xx : You Do Not let the E or the A strings ring (mute with your thumb or don't
strum
those strings.)
0 : The D string is open meaning you leave it alone.
2 : Fret the G string in the 2nd fret,
3 : the B in the 3rd
2: and the e in the 2nd. That's the basic concept. :)
Don't let the two bar chords here - F# and Bm - intimidate you either. You only
have to
play them once! Work on finger strength after training your fingers to switch
between
the shapes quickly and smoothly. Start slow and clean. Don't worry too much if it
sounds
bad at first – finger strength will come in time.
A good way to make sure you're playing it correctly is to pick each note
individually.
Don't let weird chord names drive you off either: it's not that bad. And when you
learn
new chords you get better at playing the guitar. The number of songs you will be
able to
play will broaden now.
Short chord lesson:
D2/A means it's a D2 chord with an A in the bass. So instead of muting the A
string, let
her rip! :P
The 5 in B5 comes from the 5th note played in the B major scale – which is F#.
Fretting
the e string at 2 is F# the G string at 4 is B and B open is B. So you're playing
B B
F# or B5. Same concept for D2, G2, and A2 except is the 2nd notes in the major
scales.
