This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

And then you have the Main Riff until the song fades out.

I tabbed this by ear, so if there are any errors or discrepancies feel free to point

LYRICS

In the corner beside my window

There hangs a lonely photograph

There is no reason

I'd never notice

A memory that could hold me back

There is a wound that's always bleeding

There is a road I'm always walking

And I know you'll never return to this place

Gone through days without talking

There is a comfort in silence

So used to losing all ambition

Struggling to maintain what's left

Once undone, there is only smoke

Burning in my eyes to blind

To cover up what really happened

Force the darkness unto me
