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. 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 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!
