Verse:
(fingerpick these chords in different ways to get it to sound right,
because I can't find a particular pattern)
F
There walked a lonely man
Em
Silent mute the only man
F
Not knowing how, not knowing why
Em
Was he the sole survivor
F
Why should he be alive
Em
Breathing still while others died
F
And the only question
Em
Why was he the sole survivor? [lead riff 1]

D-----7-------3-------5-------------|
A-----7-------3-------5-------------|

(So basically just hit the bass note twice then strum the
full chord and slide it downwards toward the nut.)

Cursed with second sight
Haunted savior
Cried into the night
