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

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] I never meant to hurt y[E]ou

With the[E] things I couldn't sa[Bb]y[C][G]

[E] I promise you tomorrow[E] while

Den[E]ying you toda[Bb]y[C][G]

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart

[A]These lies they've to[C]rn my world apart

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart[A]

[C] [G]

A darkness grows inside me

In fading shades of grey

All the colors in the world

Are slowly sucked away

[E]And i'm sinking ever de[E]eper

To a [E]place that's cold and black[Bb][C][G]

[E]I can't believe i've l[E]ost you

And[E] your never coming back[Bb][C][G]

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart

[A]These lies they've to[C]rn my world apart

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart[A]

T[C]orn my wor[G]ld apa[E]rt[E]

Soon the night will take me

And save me from my pain

Cloak me in cold darkness

And help me lose your name

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart

[A]These lies they've to[C]rn my world apart

[E]These lies they've to[D]rn my world apart[A]

T[C]orn my world[G] apart[E]

[E]Torn my world apart[E]

[E]Torn my world apa[E]rt
