1. I thought, I saw a man brought to life
AmBb7
He was warm, he came a-round and he was dig-ni-fied
He showed me what it was to cry
F
2. Well, you could-n't be that man I a-dored
AmBb7
You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him any-more
DmPre Chorus: There's noth-ing where he used to lie
C
The con-ver-sa-tion has run dry
Am C
That's what's go-ing on
F
Noth-ing's fine, I'm torn
C DmChorus: I'm all out of faith This is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed Ly-ing naked on the floor
C Dm
Il-lu-sion ne-ver changed In-to some-thing real
Bb F
I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn
C Dm Dm C Bb
You're a little late I'm al-rea-dy | torn | - | | 𝄎 |

3. So I guess the fortune teller's right
Am Bb7
Should have seen just what was there, and not some ho-ly light
It crawled be-neath my veins and now
DmPre Chorus 2: I don't care, I had no luck
C
I don't miss it all that much
Am C
There's just so many things
F
That I can touch, I'm torn
C DmChorus: I'm all out of faith This is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed Ly-ing naked on the floor
C Dm
Il-lu-sion ne-ver changed In-to some-thing real
Bb F
I'm wide awake and I can see The per-fect sky is torn

My inspiration has run dry

That's what's going on

Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm cold and I am shamed Ly-ing naked on this floor
