[Opening]
[F] [C7] [F] [C7]
[F]I thought I saw a man brought to life
[Am]He was warm, he came around like he was [Bb7]dignified
[Bb7]He showed me what it was to cry
[F]Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
[Am]You don’t seem to know,
Don’t seem to care what your [Bb7]heart is for but I don’t know him anymore

[verse 2]
There’s [Dm]nothing where he used to lie, [C] conversation has run dry
[Am]That’s what’s going on, [C]nothing’s fine, I’m [F]torn

[chorus]
I’m all out of [C]faith, this is how I [Dm]feel
I’m cold and I am [Bb]shamed, lying naked on the [F]floor
Illusion never [C]changed into something [Dm]real
I’m wide awake and [Bb]I can see the perfect sky is [F]torn
You’re a little [C]late, I’m already [Dm]torn [Bb]

[verse 3]
[F]Well I guess the fortune teller’s right
[Am]Should have seen just what was there and not some [Bb7]holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins, and now [Dm]I don’t care, I had no luck
[C]I don’t miss it all that much
[Am]There’s just so many [C]things that I can’t touch, I’m [F]torn

[chorus]
I’m all out of [C]faith, this is how I [Dm]feel
I’m cold and I am [Bb]shamed, lying naked on the [F]floor
Illusion never [C]changed into something [Dm]real
I’m wide awake and [Bb]I can see the perfect sky is [F]torn
You’re a little [C]late, I’m already [Dm]torn [Bb]

[verse 4]
[Dm]Torn [Bb]
[Dm]oo, oo[F]oo[C]o

[verse 5]
There’s [Dm]nothing where he used to lie, my [C]inspiration has run dry
[Am]That’s what’s going on
[C]Nothing’s right, I’m [F]torn

[verse 6]
I’m all out of [C]faith, this is how I [Dm]feel
I’m cold and I am [Bb]shamed, lying naked on the [F]floor
Illusion never [C]changed into something [Dm]real
I’m wide awake and [Bb]I can see the perfect sky is [F]torn

[Closing]
I’m all out of [C]faith, this is how I [Dm]feel
I’m cold and I’m a[Bb]shamed
Bound and broken on the [F]floor
You’re a little [C]late, I’m already [Dm]torn [Bb]
[Dm]Torn [C]Oh

[outro]
[F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
