Capo on 4 
Hi guys my first tab... wooo  

verse 1: 

          C                                      Em 
            I thought I saw a man brought to life 

                                                     F 
            He was warm, he came around like he was dignified 

        
            He showed me what it was to cry 

          C                                       Em 
            Well you couldn't be that man I adored 

                    
            You don't seem to know  

                                         F 
            Don't seem to care what your heart is for  


            But I don't know him anymore  



Pre Chorus 1: 

                         Am 
                 There's nothing where he used to lie  

                G  
                 My conversation has run dry  

               Em 
                 That's what's going on  

               G                        
                 Nothing's fine 

                       C  
                 I'm torn 



Chorus 1: 

          (C)                  G                  Am 
             I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel 

                               F                           C 
             I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor  

                               G                      Am 
                Illusion never changed, into something real  

                                F                              C 
             I'm wide awake and I can see, the perfect sky is torn 

                              G                  Am  (G)  F 
             You're a little late, I'm already torn  



verse 2: 

           C                                    Em 
            So I guess the fortune teller's right 

                                                                F 
            I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light 

   
            But you crawl beneath my veins and now 
   


Pre Chorus 2:                           


                  Am 
                 I don't care, I have no luck 

                  G 
                 I don't miss it all that much  

                 Em 
                 There's just so many things 

                 G 
                 That I can't touch 

                      C 
                 I'm torn 



Chorus 2: 

            (C)                  G                  Am 
             I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel 

                               F                           C 
             I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor  

                               G                      Am 
                Illusion never changed, into something real  

                                F                              C 
             I'm wide awake and I can see, the perfect sky is torn 

                              G                  Am  (G)  F 
             You're a little late, I'm already torn

                 There's nothing where he used to lie 

                 G 
                 My inspiration has run dry 

                 Em 
                 That's what's going on 

                 G 
                 Nothing's right 

                 C 
                 I'm torn

                               F                          C 
             I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor  

                               G                      Am 
             Illusion never changed, into something real  

                                F                              C

                               F                              C 
             I'm cold and I am shamed, bound and broken on the floor 

                              G                  Am  (G)  F 
             You're a little late, I'm already torn
