D#      A#m     Fm         D#
Broken pieces, break into me
D#      A#m     Fm             D#
So imperfectly what you should be

D#                   A#m
I don't want you to go
            Fm                       D#
Don't wanna see you back out in the cold
                                      A#m
Air you're breathing out fades you to grey
          Fm     D#
Don't run away, find me

Gm         G#                      Cm                A#
I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
Gm          G#                 Cm
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
            A#
I'm all you need

Chorus:
D#      A#m     Fm         D#
Broken pieces, break into me
D#      A#m     Fm             D#
So imperfectly what you should be
F#                                         D#        Gm
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
F#                                    D#
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Let's enlighten the night
We can fall away, slip out of sight
When you drop your guard
Melt into time, so intertwined, quiet

I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
I'm all you need

Chorus:
Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Broken pieces, break into me

Chorus:
Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open
