Tunning: Standard
Em - 022000 MsbuK - Slow Bend Up on Mth fret
C - x32010 to the Kth note
C~~ - Hit once, let ring. (MsbuK similar sound to M/K)
G - 320033 KbdM - bend dowm from Kth note
G/F# - 200033 on Mth fret
G/F#** - only 2 strums (KbdM similar sound to K\M)
GM - 554030 or x54030 {Gmaj13(no3rd)} / - Slide Up
\ - Slide Down
h - hammer on
p - pull-off
~ - let ring
Note - The GM chord choice depends on how much the player strums on his
or her top string. I recommend 554030.
- The Strumming can be figured out by listening to the song, although
note that during the chorus, it is something played like:
e|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0...
B|-3330-0000-1110-1110-3...
G|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0... (General idea)
D|-4444-2222-2222-2222-4...
A|-5555-2222-3333-3333-5...
E|-5555-0000-xxxx-xxxx-5...
and the strumming is different from the first verse compared to the
second verse.
- Pay close attention for timing on the solo.
- Depending on your guitar and amp settings(tone, etc..), some notes
on the solo might be at different locations, but they are at that
same note and same octave.
Intro Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G
Verse
I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
are nothing like they were meant to be
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
such as living with the uncertainty
that I'll never find the words to say
G/F#**
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down
Chorus
someone come, someone come and save my life
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
but now it's like the night is taking sides
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
could it be this misery will suffice?
- - - - - -
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
madness fills my heart and soul
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
G/F#**
oh how I'm breaking down
