I Was Broken
covered by Rob Pattinson
originally by Marcus Foster
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.
*He likes to go back and forth between the D and Dsus4. Listen to the song for
the strumming and switches.
