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 KM)
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
G/F# Em C G G/F# Em
I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night
C G G/F# Em
so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams
C G
are nothing like they were meant to be
G/F# Em C G
and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down
G/F# Em C G
and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
G/F# Em C G
such as living with the uncertainty
G/F# Em C
that I'll never find the words to say
G G/F# Em C G G/F#**
which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down
Chorus
GM Em C
someone come, someone come and save my life
GM Em
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
C
but now it's like the night is taking sides
GM Em C
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
GM Em C
could it be this misery will suffice?
Em — C — G — G/F# — Em — C — G
G/F# Em C G G/F# Em
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea
C G G/F#
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Em C
madness fills my heart and soul
G G/F# Em
as if the great divide could swallow me whole
C G G/F#**
oh how I'm breaking down
Play Chorus
