Broken Songs chords by Jim Ward

Chords with lyrics

Listen to the songs for the strumming patterns, which are all very basic. Try to hit only the lower four
strings; this should resemble the original sound of the chords which are originally played tuned down
three half-steps.

It's relatively easy to recreate the song in Standard tuning (see below),
the only problem might be the EbmEbm chord. I suggest you play it like this which comes close to the original:

Ebm:
e|-x-|
BB|-4-|
G+G|-4-|
D MajorD|-4-|
A augmentedA|-6-|
E MajorE|-x-|

Here is the song:

Intro:
-----
G# minorG#m

Verse:
-----
G# minorG#m       E MajorE    EbmEbm       E MajorE
 I'm not too comfortable to fall from the start

G# minorG#m       E MajorE    EbmEbm       E MajorE
 Well, I don't find success interesting as art

------
G# minorG#m        BB
 But I'll build a home

E MajorE         BB
 In these broken songs

Like you said I should

     BB F#F# E MajorE
Like you understood


Verse:
-----
G# minorG#m       E MajorE    EbmEbm       E MajorE

 When it gets too intimate, then I fall apart

 And I carry on

Like you understood
