*Lyrics* (From the postboard fans)
 
Seems like only yesterday
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black
 
Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done
 
I lay there in the dark I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
 
So I tried to find my way
Spinning I was in a daze
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown it out drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner slave to the disguise
 
Disappear the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye
 
I lay there in the dark I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left for me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive
 
Come alive (9 times)
 
I lay there in the dark I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
 
Come alive (15 times)
 
Nothing to reveal?
Nothing more to live?
Come alive
You ? at me
Looking for free?
Come alive
I lay there in the dark
Open my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
 
Come alive (7 times)

F# ??

You can keep this entirely in regular tuning if you play the 7th fret arpeggio as a bar (all the strings with your index finger). The last note F# is already fretted on the B string. You don't have to jack your E string up to F# to risk snapping it. The 9th fret part is a slightly bit trickier but still doable if you fret the F# on the second string (B string) at the 7th fret with your index finger. The other fingers: Fret the 9th thick E string with your middle finger, 9th string D string with your ring finger and your pinky will fret the 9th string G string. It involves a bit finger gymnastics to get the pattern but it's still the same shape up and down the neck. If I can do it, you can do it...I'm brand new to finger style and I can work it all out no problem so there is hope for anyone.

This Is Brilliant! Well Done!
