Lyrics:
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems... no one will appear here and make me real

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me

I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
You don't care that it haunts me

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...

most excellent tab, man.

Wow..an amazing tab. very very nicely done. the absolute only thing I got is that during the bridge (I'd tell you how it haunts me...) you're missing the harmonics part that is played. I think he probably re-recorded it, and it couldn't be done with just one guitar more than likely, but yeah.. thats all I got.. beautiful work. Jade rocks.

Thonly thing I see, which may not be a mistake, is that 7p5 might be 5h7, I'm not sure, but other than that I can't complain. You should do lots more Afi because this shows your really good
