[Intro]
D* C/Gsus4  Dsus2  D*
[Verse 1]
Why can't you just believe in me?
Dsus2              C/Gsus4
Not everyone is the enemy
I'm trying hard I swear I am
Dsus2              C/Gsus4
I'm doin' the best I can
[Refrain 1]
But I'm Broken
Dsus2    C/Gsus4
Broken
[Verse 2]
I'm wagin' war up in my head
Dsus2                     C/Gsus4
Last time I loved it 'bout left me dead
And you're no better off 'cause you got burned too
Dsus2                              C/Gsus4
By someone you thought you really knew
[Refrain 2]
Now you're Broken
Dsus2    C/Gsus4
Broken
[Bridge]
That way I can't take all of you
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
Dsus2hmmmmm
[Verse 3]
Last time that I let somebody in

It really hurt me but that was then
So here we are, just you and me
Dsus2              C/Gsus4
The sum of all our injuries
[Verse 4]
Don't try to push me 'cause I might break
Dsus2                     C/Gsus4
Not sure how much of this I can take
So if you otta go 1stchords, well that's alright too
Dsus2                              C/Gsus4
Guess there's not a lot that we can do
[Refrain]
'Cause we're Broken
Dsus2    C/Gsus4
Broken
[Bridge]
That way I can't take all of you
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
[Outro]
Yeah, we're Broken
           Dsus2    C/Gsus4
Baby we're Broken
