Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

F

I thought I saw a man brought to life

Bb

He was warm, he came around like he was dignified

F

He showed me what it was to cry

C

Well, you couldn’t be that man I adored

Bb C

You don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care what your heart is for

F

But I don’t know him anymore

Chorus

Bb

There’s nothing where he used to lie

F

My conversation has run dry

C

That’s what’s going on

Bb C

Nothing’s fine, I’m torn

F

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel

Bb F

I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor

C Bb

Illusion never changed into something real

C F

I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

Verse 2

F

You’re a little late, I’m already torn

Bb

So I see the whole world through a cynical eye

F

I feel like I am living someone else’s life

C

It’s like I just stepped outside

Bb

When everything was going right

C

And I know just why you could not

F

Come down to meet me in the first place

Chorus

Bb

There’s nothing where he used to lie

F

My conversation has run dry

C

That’s what’s going on

Nothing’s fine, I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel

Bb F

I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed into something real

I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

I’m cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
