WHEN I TAB I DON'T TAB EVERYTHING
I'LL SHOW THE CHORD AND THEN TAB THE PARTS THAT
ACTUALLY NEED TO BE TABBED... I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO
CHANGE CHORDS, BY PUTTING THE CHORD NAME OVER THE LYRICS

INTRO... AND PART OF THE CHORUS. THE CHORUS CONSISTS OF A D
THEN AN E, THEN THAT INTRO RIFF. WHEN YOU LISTEN AND
START TO PLAY ALONG YOU WILL GET IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM.

WHEN YOU DEADEN (THE X's) THE STRINGS IT WILL CREATE THE
HARMONICS...

I know your life is empty

And you hate to face this world alone

So your searching for an angel

Someone who can make you whole

[D]I cannot[E2] save you[F#][F#][E][A][F#][F#][E][A]

[D]I can't even [E2]save myself[F#][F#][E][A][F#][F#][E][A]

[F#] So just [F#]sav[E]e [A]yours[F#]elf

I know that you've been damaged

Your soul has suffered such abuse

But I am not your savior

I am just as ed as you... (I am just as ed as you)

Please don't take pity on me

RIGHT BUT ITS THE BEST I

My soul is fractured to the bone

So if I must be lonely

I think I'd rather be alone...
