Intro: F/G  C/E  G 

Verse 
F/G                     C/E 
I'm just a well dressed wreck 
                    G 
I'm just a made up mess 
                                         F/G 
Working hard trying to keep everybody impressed 
                 C/E                   G 
All the while I'm falling apart on the inside 

F/G               C/E                G 
I look around to see is anyone like me? 
                                           F/G 
First glance tells me I'm all alone in the sea 
             C/E 
Then I look again a little deeper 
Eb                    F 
And we're all in the same boat 
Eb           F 
We all just need to know 

           G 
We're all broken 
           D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 
G 
Broken 
         D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 
                  G 
'Cause we're all broken 

Verse 
F/G                 C/E 
This is a fool's parade 
                  G 
The way we masquerade 
                                          F/G 
Trying to make everybody think it's all okay 
                 C/E                  G 
When the truth is we're all living a story 

F/G                C/E 
What if we all got brave? 
                G 
Enough to take away 
                                        F/G 
All we're hiding behind even for just a day 
                      C/E 
And let the scars show even a little 
Eb             F      Eb            F 
But I know the honesty will show us all to be 

  G 
Broken 
           D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 
G 
Broken 
         D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 

Bridge 
F 
We don't have to pretend about it 
C                                              F 
We don't have to keep acting like we're all okay 

If we lift our eyes to the cross 
       C           Am 
We'll see the reality 

              G    D 
That we're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all have a Savior 

G 
Broken 
         D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 
G 
Broken 
         D 
We're all broken 
       Am          C 
And we all need a Savior 
    F          C 
We all have a Savior 
   Am        C 
We all need Jesus
