Boy Who Was Torn Apart

• D

Hey Guys,
This is "Boy Who Was Torn Apart", by Emblem3. This song makes me so sad when I hear it. See if you can figure
out what it's about and you'll see why. They were so young when they wrote this! The * means to add a pinkie 
finger to the D chord on the e string. Thanks!
D                              A
I open up the photograph book, see the pictures, they?ve all faded
G                                  Em
I see the smiles and the laughter, and the ones not so hated.
G                       D                                                *  D *
Empty bottles of booze, empty bottles of pills, well, I guess, that this is it.
G                                            C                                   D
I?m standing tall on the high high building, looking down where I?m just about to hit.
D                                 A
I think back, throughout my life, and, all the people that I?ve hated.
G                          Em                    D * Em
Well I guess, I guess this life is, It?s just to over-rated.
A
So now I stand!
G                             D                          C
I can?t believe, I?m standing here up top, this old tall rooftop.
G                                           Em
I never thought that it would come to this, but I have to show the ones I once loved.
Em                          C   Em                C
That I?ll jump, that I?ll fall. That I?ll hit the ground so hard and
Em                    C                   G                         D
And then they?ll see, they?ll see it all. The boy who was literally torn apart.
D                       A                                        G
Another puzzle, another dream smashed down, down the empty alley-way.
G                                Em
In a way all the joy left in me, leave my body out here to decay.
G             D                                                 *    D  * D * D
I think back, I think back when we said, everything, everything will be alright.
G                                        D                                          D
Well I?m left here, left here better off dead. And I guess that my vision is out of time.
A                 G                                      D                         C
So once again I?m that way. I can?t believe I?m standing here up top this old tall rooftop.
G                                           Em                                 
I never thought that it would come to this, but I have to show the ones I once loved.
Em                            C     Em                C                  Em
That I?ll jump, and that I?ll fall, that I?ll hit the ground so hard and then they?ll see,
C                   G                         D
they?ll see it all. The boy who was literally torn apart.
G
That boy who was literally torn apart.
G
That boy who was literally torn apart.
Em                                C         Em                C                   Em
And then I?ll jump, and then I?ll fall, and then I?ll hit the ground so hard and, then they?ll see,
C                   G                           D
they?ll see it all. When my heart was literally torn apart.
