(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
