[Verse 1]
Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2
I am the only one to blame for this
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Somehow it all ends up the same
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
[Verse 2]
Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2
To turn away and not become
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
More deeply than the oceans, more abundant than the tears
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Of a world embracing every heartache
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
Can I be the one to sacrifice
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
[Chorus]
C#m7
(To love you)
E Asus2
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2 C#m7
I am on my knees
(To love you)
E Asus2
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
Broken on my knees
[Verse 3]
Asus2 Bsus4 Asus2
All said and done I stand alone
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7
It takes all I am to believe
Asus2 Bsus4 F#7sus4
In the mercy that covers me
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
Did you really have to die for me
C#m7 Bsus4
All I am for all you are, what I need
Asus2
And what I believe are worlds apart
Asus2
And I pray
[Chorus]
C#m7
(To love you)
E Asus2
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2 C#m7
I am on my knees
(To love you)
E Asus2
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2 C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
Broken on my knees
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 Asus2
On my knees
[Outro]
C#m
I look beyond the empty cross
B
Forgetting what my life has cost
Asus2
I wipe away the crimson stains
Asus2
And dull the nails that still remain
C#m
More and more I need you now
B
I owe you more each passing hour
Asus2
The battle between grace and pride
Asus2
I gave up not so long ago
C#m
So steal my heart and take the pain
B
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Asus2
Take the selfish, take the weak
Asus2
And all the things I cannot hide
C#m
Take the beauty, take my tears
Bsus4
The sin soaked heart and make it yours
Asus2
Take my world apart
Asus2
Take it now, take it now
C#m7 C#m7
And serve the ones that I despise (To love you)
E E Asus2
Speak the words I can't deny Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2
And watch the world I used to love
Asus2 Asus2 C#m7
Fall to dust and blow away I am on my knees
(To love you)
C#m7
I look beyond the empty cross
E E Asus2
Forgetting what my life has cost Take my world a - part
(To need you)
Asus2
So wipe away the crimson stains
Asus2 Asus2 C#m7
And dull the nails that still remain Broken on my knees
(To need you)
C#m7
And steal my heart and take the pain
Bsus4
And take the selfish, take the weak
Asus2 Asus2
And all the things I cannot hide (To need you)
Asus2
Take the beauty, take my tears
C#m7 C#m7
Take my world apart On my knees
(To need you)
Bsus4
Take my world apart
Asus2 Asus2
And I do pray (To need you)
Asus2
And I pray, and I pray

Overall, your tab is great. A couple quick suggestions that I have been doing and like: First off, instead of playing the F#7sus, I suggest playing the F#m7, which would be 2x2200. I believe this is also known as A2/F#. Also, I suggest playing the last amazing part (I look beyond the empty cross...) all open...meaning, continue to use the C#m7, Bsus, and A(9) chords instead of C#m, B, and A. Finally, I like playing E as 079900. I know it's more movement up the fretboard but I think it sounds nice. Again, really excellent job.

Brother,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You worked hard on this and I am so appreciative.

Thanks for the tab. I'm just learning guitar, and, I'm not going to lie, things really started to make sense once I started practicing this. You've opened up my world, man.
