---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Broken (2008 Single version) - Lifehouse ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Adam K. Email: catchingtheimpossible@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard **NOTE**: This tab refers to the Single Version of Lifehouse's incredible Song "Broken", as released of November/ December 2008. Meaning, it's different from the album version on "Who We Are", as of Summer 2007. Please DO NOT get this confused when you comment or rate my tab. Any ideas/ comments on the tab i.g., are welcome. Feel free to add my email-addy to your msn messenger list and to ask questions or else. This is my first tab and is ear-transscribed, so I won't outcount mistakes. LYRICS AND MUSIC TABLATURE ARE NOT 100% SIMULTANEOUS IN MY TAB !!! LYRICS ARE NOT FULLY INCLUDED, ONLY PARTS TO SHOW HOW SONG IS PLAYED BY ME !!! To find out how exactly to get the timing and play the song 100% accurate... well, play it. Thanks. Verse Tab (same for every verse... as you might see, I recommend picking) e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----5--5--5--5-----/----9--9--9--9---\----5--5--5--5---/----9--9--9--9--| D|---3--3--3--3------/---7--7--7--7----\---3--3--3--3----/---7--7--7--7---| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| The broken clock... ...comfort,... ...helps me sleep tonight... ...I am here... ...waiting,... ...have my doubts... e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----5--5--5--5-----/----9--9--9--9---\----7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--------| D|---3--3--3--3------/---7--7--7--7----\---5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5---------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| ...maybe... ...tomorrow... ...stealing all my time... ...I'm damaged... ...at best,... ...already figured out...
