Verse:
(fingerpick these chords in different ways to get it to sound right,
because I can't find a particular pattern)
F
There walked a lonely man
Em
Silent mute the only man
F
Not knowing how, not knowing why
Em
Was he the sole survivor
F
Why should he be alive
Em
Breathing still while others died
F
And the only question
Em
Why was he the sole survivor? [lead riff 1]
Lead riff 1:
E|------------------|

E|--8-7-5-5---------|
Chorus: \ = slide down the neck towards the nut
A F G
E|--------------------------------------| (x4)
B|--------------------------------------|

D|-----7\-------3\-------5\-------------|
A|-----7\-------3\-------5\-------------|
E|-5-5-5\---1-1-1\---3-3-3\--0-3--------|
(So basically just hit the bass note twice then strum the
full chord and slide it downwards toward the nut.)
Chorus lyrics:
Sole survivor
Cursed with second sight
Haunted savior
Cried into the night
Sole survivor
Cursed with second sight
Haunted savior
Cried into the night
