The chord positions I use are the ones I think are used in the
song. But when you're playing on your acoustic at home it is
much easier to just play open position chords and it sounds good
too. But these are the correct ones I think.
I've tabbed all the main parts for the electric guitar. These
seem to be missing in all the tabs I've seen for this song.
CHORDS:
F1 (xx3211) F (133211) Dm (x57765)
Fsus4 (xx3311) Am (577555) C (8-10-10-9-8-8)
Fsus2 (xx3011) Bb7 (686766) Bb (688766)
INTRO:
F1 Fsus4 F1 Fsus2
VERSE 1:
F
I thought I saw a man brought to life
Am Bb7
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
But you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for
I don't know him anymore
What the electric guitar plays in the pre-chorus goes
something like this:
Dm C Am C
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------10----------------8--------------5----------------8--|
G|-------10-----------------9---------------5---------------9--------|
D|-----12----12----------10----10---------7----7---------10----10----|
A|---12----------------10---------------7--------------10------------|
E|-10----------------8----------------5--------------8---------------|
PRE-CHORUS:
Dm
There's nothing where, he used to lie
C
My conversation has run dry
Am C
That's what going on
Nothing's fine I'm

CHORUS:

C
I'm all out of faith
Dm
This is how I feel
Bb
I'm cold and I am shamed
F
lying naked on the floor
C
Illusion never changed
Dm
into something real
Bb
I'm wide awake and I can see
F
the perfect sky is torn
C
You're a little late
Dm Bb
I'm already torn

VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
So I guess the fortuneteller's right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus]
I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There just so many things
that I can't touch I'm
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
Torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
BRIDGE:
