From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"

Tabbed by thechadmiller (Twitter)

72 BPM

Intro

(Chunky bar chords)

Verse 1

Deep inside me there's this burning that just won't let me go

You are my fire, You are my righteousness, You are my rock n roll

For the interlude and pre-chorus, start with the C on the 8th fret bar chord

and climb up from there.

For the E/F, play:

Interlude

Verse 2

I wish I could fit you down inside my chest God

I wish that I could swallow you whole

I'd wrap you up in a blanket of my skin

and you could call my body home

Pre-Chorus x2

I am a temple, I am a temple, My body is a temple, I , I am a temple

Chorus

So what if I'm not worthy! So what if I'm not worthy!

So what if I'm not worthy! You have made me clean

Intro

Verse 3

I can't get over how quickly you recover

The pieces of my heart as they shatter

Cause in your hands I am more than just a brand new man

And all my falling down now, well, it just don't matter

Pre-Chorus x2

Chorus x2

The lead riff throughout the song is picked in these two positions. Listen

for the changes.

For the rest of the guitar stuff, get creative and just play the mess out of

it. Great song to improv and riff on.
