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.

Drop D tuning, 1/2 step down

Ab
Db
Gb
Bb
eb

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 Bb and C.

The chorus consists of five chords...

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

it is hiding a secret and then coming out with it and then he/she gets torn apart (ex. bill clinton and that monical something he hid that from his wife and then finaly came out with it and look at where he is now) a quote i smoked it but i never inhaled
