   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 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
