"Ruin"
Let it Break (2011)
Note: I'm not a guitar player, so I'm not sure the tab is 100%, but
I assume it's an easy song to follow. The transcription is in its
original tune (no capo). Play this during both verses. All notes are 8ths:

[Verse]
Csus4 Bb6
Hiding out in trenches I’ve built
Csus4
I’m so good at it now
Bb6
I know how to trick myself
Csus4 Bb6
We’ll soon see if you’ll be my ruin
Csus4 Bb6
I maybe high but you got me terrified
[Chorus]
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
You make me feel something again
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
You make me feel human
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
You make me feel something again
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
At least I feel human again
[Verse]
Csus4
I was fine with nothing
Bb6
I was fine in a dream
Csus4
Did nobody tell you
Bb6
You can’t wake a girl who pretends to sleep
Csus4 Bb6
I, I don’t know how you did it
Csus4
But I can’t catch my breath
Bb6
Wrapped so tightly round my chest
Your love is a tourniquet
[Chorus]
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
You make me feel something again
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
You make me feel human
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
You make me feel something again
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
At least I feel human again
[Break]
Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
[Bridge]
Ab Fmadd9
What do you burn
Cm
What do you keep
Bb
You can’t wake a girl
Ab
Who pretends to sleep
Fmadd9
Over and over
Cm
Cutting at scars
Bb
You need the darkness
Ab
If you wanna see stars
Ab Fmadd9
What do you burn
Cm
What do you keep
Bb
You can’t wake a girl
Ab
Who pretends to sleep
Fmadd9
Over and over
Cm
Cutting at scars
Bb
You need the darkness
Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
If you wanna see stars
[Break]
Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
[Bridge]
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
I don’t know why I tell you these things
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
I don’t know why I tell you these things
Ab Fmadd9 Cm
I don’t know why I tell you these things
Bb Ab Fmadd9 Cm Bb
I don’t know why I tell you these things
[Outro]
