I can't hurt you anymore

version 2
[Verse]
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you any more
Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you any—

Pure hearts and stumble
In my hands they crumble
And fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
Loved by numbers
You loosing, life's wonder
And touch like strangers detached
I can't feel you anymore
And sunshine, trapped in our hearts
It could rise again, but I'm lost
And crushed
I'm cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
You were my guiding light
Woo ho whoa
Ho, ho, mhoo, ha
And come from and won't come befouled I still reach for you
But I'm lost and I'm crushed
I'm cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
You're my guiding light
There is no guiding light left inside
There's no guiding light in us
Notes:
This was tabbed with great difficulty due to one fast lick during the solo,
and lots of delay, but I've tried to make it as clear as possible.
If you disagree with part of it, then you can play around with the finger picking,
but the chords are correct. If you know the names of the chords please comment so
I can correct them!
Unknown chords
133011 - Some form of F
x33013 - Some form of C
THE SOLO
I have tabbed the solo exactly how Matt plays it, which I did by looking at the making
of the resistance DVD. You will have that if you were cool enough to buy it.
I went to extremes of studying that fast lick at many different speeds between 7%-100%,
and looking closely what Matt's fingers did.
It's so fast you can pretty much play any sort of blur on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th frets,
if you disagree with what I've tabbed.
Not sure if it's a pinch harmonic or sustainer in there, but either is good.
The Chorus
As I said, LOADS of delay made it very hard to tab this, so no doubt it's not 100% perfect,
but as I'm sure Matt will do live, just pick the chords randomly, as long as you get the
6th string right and the chord, it'll sound fine.
