verse two:
(repeat verse one chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy
front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw lives inside him
still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has
granddaughters

Intro:
EAEF#m
Verse 1:
EG#m
I thought I saw a man brought to
life
A
He was warm, he came around like he
was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
EG#m
Well you couldn't be that man I
adored
You don't seem to know
A
your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
Pre Chorus 1:
C#m
There's nothing where he used to
lie
B
My conversation has run dry
G#m
That's what's going on
B
Nothing's fine
E
I'm torn
Illusion never
changed, into something real
AE
I'm wide awake and I
can see, the perfect sky is torn
BC#m (B) A
You're a little late, I'm already
torn
Verse 2:
EG#m
So I guess the fortune teller's
right
A
I should have seen just what was
there and not some holy light
But you crawl beneath
my veins and now
Pre Chorus 2:
(Same chords and
rhythm as Pre Chorus 1)
I don't care, I
have no luck
I don't miss it
all that much
There's just so
many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn
Chorus 1:
(E)
BC#m
I'm all out of faith, this is how I
feel
Chorus 2:
AE
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying
naked on the floor

BC#m
(Same as Chorus 1)
