An awesome song, I must admit. Very powerful,
musically and lyrically. This is not the easiest
guitar song on the record, but not the hardest.

intro... This riff is played a lot throughout the
song. so listen for it... This is also the ending
of the song, the E and the bending of the note not

The solo, is basically lots of distortion and feedback.
I believe that he is also playing some really high notes.

something like that, although
i'm not 100% sure...
I know I should have told you
But I was so afraid you'd leave
And now there's nothing left to say
Well nothing that you'd believe
E E
I never meant to hurt you
E Bb C G
With the things I couldn't say
E E
I promise you tomorrow while
E Bb C G
Denying you today
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G
A darkness grows inside me
In fading shades of grey
All the colors in the world
Are slowly sucked away
E E
And i'm sinking ever deeper
E Bb C G
To a place that's cold and black
E E
I can't believe i've lost you
E Bb C G
And your never coming back
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G E E
Torn my world apart
Soon the night will take me
And save me from my pain
Cloak me in cold darkness
And help me lose your name
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G E
Torn my world apart
E E
Torn my world apart
E E
Torn my world apart
