might benefit from them somewhere down the line .

broken open
written by greg wells , adam lambert , and evan bogart .
produced by greg wells .
from adam lambert’s album ’for your entertainment’

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

G#m – – – – – – – – – A – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – B
i know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
G#m – – – – – – – – – 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 – – – – – – – – – – – – G#m
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
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – D
when you drop your guard
– – – – – – – – – – A – – – – – – – – – – – – E
melt into time , so intertwined , quiet

G#m – – – – – – – – – A – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – B
i know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
G#m – – – – – – – – – 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 – – – – – – – – – – – – G#m
lay here , it’s safe here , i’ll let you be broken open
G – – – – – – – – – – – – – A – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – F#
hide here , confide here so we can be broken open

– – – – – – – – E – – – – – – – B – – – – – – – – – F#
broken pieces , break into me
– – – – – – E – – – – – – – – – B – – – – – – – – – F#
so imperfectly what you should be
A – – – – – – – – – – – – – – B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – F# – – – – – – – – – – – – A#
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

( repeat last two lines as much as you want . you kinda just have to work out a nice
picking pattern for yourself; whatever works best! )

good luck and happy playing!
