Ok, here's how the riffs go with the song:
Riff B
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Riff B
Theres a dog at your back step
He must come in from the rain
Riff C
I fall cause I let go
The net below has rot away
Riff C
So my eyes seek reality
And my fingers seek my veins
Riff D
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
Riff E
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
Riff D
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Riff E
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due
Please forgive me
Riff F
My eyes seek reality
My fingers feel for faith
Riff F
Touch clean with a dirty hand
I touched the clean to the waste
Riff D
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
Riff E
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
Riff D
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Riff E
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Riff G
Riff G
So low the sky is all I see
Riff G
All I want from you is forgive me
Riff G
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Riff G
Though he just wants right back out again
Riff F
And I cry, to the alley way
Confess all to the rain
Riff F
But I lie, lie straight to the mirror
The one I've broken, to match my face
Riff D
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
Riff E
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
Riff D
So as I write to you (yeah)
Of what is done and to do (yeah)
Riff E
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Riff G
Riff G
So low the sky is all I see
Riff G
All I want from you is forgive me
Riff G
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Riff G
Though he just wants right back out again
Riff B
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
