the  pain appeal, the trees will say its oookaay,
 'cause I'm scared  that there's no answer
 'cause I'm scared  that there's no dreamers
 In this life  of mine,  there is only  time,  the illusion  of which  is gone.
All  my words are spread across the canvas, no  one's seemed
 to see the things I say,  and though  these eyes were once
 those of an artist, failure  has relieved me of a face.
 And I  am now aware that I am  only the brushstrokes on the headstone
 of a man that never lived,  and this oh thise, is this, a life
 that I have failed and I hoped  to be forgiven. The

 fire, had suddenly gone out the hands will fall away.
the  pain appeal, the trees will say its oookaay,
 'cause I'm scared  that there's no answer
 'cause I'm scared  that there's no dreamers
 In this life  of mine,  there is only  time,  the illusion  of which  is gone.
 G* right before you hit the C chord after you play this G, he does a little walk up like so:
e|-3-3--X-X--0-0--| Listen to the song, you'll figure it out.
B|-3-3--1-1--1-1--|
G|-0-0--2-2--0-0--|
D|-0-0--2-2--2-2--|
A|-2-2--0-0--3-3--|
E|-3-3--X-X--X-X--|
 Em^ during the chorus just means a little chord changes like so:
e|-0-0--0-0-0-0--|
B|-0-0--1-0-0-0--|
G|-0-0--0-0-2-0--|x2 Again just listen, and you'll catch it.
D|-2-2--2-2-2-2--|
A|-2-2--2-2-2-2--|
E|-0-0--0-0-0-0--|
 I know there's more to the song, but it gets blurry, and the chords become random and
 take over, so playing it isn't very fun if you are playing by yourself, but the rest of
 makes a great acoustic song to play around with and impress people with folk skills.
 tab the rest out later when I have more time. Enjoy though.
