I Was Broken

I've seen quite a few tabs for this, but I felt like they were missing the little
things that he does while playing. Hopefully this is right, and the lyrics are
good, because it sounds like it to me and it's my first tab I've put on here. If
you have any questions, let me know.

I wasn't sure what some of the chords were, so I just made up names.

the strumming and switches.
Intro
*
I was broken
I was tired now I'm bound
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Time will decide, not before
No one loves the nighttime at the door
Haunted by the things I've deemed
Something between the burning light and the dusty shade
Said I used to think the past was dead and gone
But I was wrong, so wrong
Whatever makes you blind just makes you strong, makes you strong
And by the time I'm melting into many forms
From the day that I was born
And I know that there is no place to hide
Something between the burning shade and the faded light
And I was broken for a long time
But it's over now
And I was broken for a long time
But it's over now
Yes you, yeah you walk these lonely streets and people stare
People stare
Now some fool just got near
And I do pretend
Now I'm free from all the things that saved my friends
And I was debted to the end
Now I know I can change the mood

Something between the burning shade and the faded light
And I was broken for a long time
But it's over now, it's over now
Mm it's over now, now, now
It's over now, it's over now.
It's over now, now, now
Said I was broken for a long time
But it's over, but it's over (3x)
But it's over now, now, now, now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now, now, now
I was broken for a long time yeah
But it's over, but it's over now yeah
Over now, it's all over, it's over now.
