Broken From the Start - Jon Foreman Chorded by: Clifton [email protected]
This is by no means a definitive chord sheet or anything or even exactly how Jon might but this is how I play it and I think it's pretty accurate.
B5 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Verse 1 B5D5Asus2 Life is a gift like fresh cut roses B5D5Asus2 Cut from the branch and brought inside GD5/AGD5/A It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase GAsus4B5 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: GAD5/AG If you hide yourself deep inside D5/AG Deep inside GAD5/AG In time you've got nothing left to hide D5/AG There's nothing left inside GA Tonight, honey AmG I'm gonna break your heart GAG Mine was broken from the start AB5 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 AG Broken from the start AG Broken from the start AB5 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#mBm <- - - 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
