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
