Artist: Lifehouse
Song: Broken (New/Radio Version)
There are some subtle chord changes at the end of some lines, but I wasn’t quite 
sharp enough to figure them out. This plays along well with the newest version of the song.
Normal Tuning
Capo 2nd
[Verse 1]
F                           C  F                       C
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
F                        Am G
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
F                     C F                          C
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
F                Am   G
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
[Chorus]
               C              G
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
               Am                 G
With a broken heart that's still beating
        C            G
In the pain there is healing
        Am          G
In your name I find meaning
[Verse 2]
F                       C       F                    C
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
F                     Am       G
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
F                    C       F           C
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
F                     Am       G
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life
[Chorus]
                C              G
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
               Am                 G
With a broken heart that's still beating
        C            G
In the pain is there healing
        Am          G
In your name I find meaning
[Bridge]
               F                  Am               F                Am
So I'm holdin' on, (I’m still holdin), I’m holdin on, (I’m still holdin), I’m 
       F                 Am               G
holdin’ on, (I’m still holdin), I’m barely holdin on to you
            C          Am               F                     Am
I'm hanging on another day just to see what you will throw my way
                 C              Am
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
          F              G
You said that I will be ok
    F                     C       F              C
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
   F               Am                 G
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten…my way home
[Chorus]
                C              G
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
               Am                 G
With a broken heart that's still beating
        C            G
In the pain there is healing
        Am          G
In your name I find meaning
[Outro]
               F                  Am               F                Am
So I'm holdin' on, (I’m still holdin), I’m holdin on, (I’m still holdin), I’m 
       F                 Am               G
holdin’ on, (I’m still holdin), I’m barely holdin on to you
               F                  Am               F                Am
So I'm holdin' on, (I’m still holdin), I’m holdin on, (I’m still holdin), I’m 
       F                 Am               G
holdin’ on, (I’m still holdin), I’m barely holdin on to you
