Torn

Words & Music:

Natalie Imbruglia

F   Bb   F   Gm

 

F                                Am

I thought I saw a man brought to life

Am                                       Bb

He was warm, he came around like he was dignified,

Bb

He showed me what it was to cry

Well you couldn't be that man I adored; you don't seem to know.

Don't seem to care what your heart is for

But I don't know him anymore

 

Dm                                     C

There's nothing where he used to lie.  My conversation has run dry

Am                      C                   F

That's what's going on; nothing's fine, I'm torn

 

CHORUS:

F              C                    Dm

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel.

                  Bb                         F

I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor.

               C                      Dm

Illusion never changed into something real.

                   Bb                           F

I'm wide-awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn.

                C                 Dm  (C)  Bb

You're a little late, I'm already torn.

 

So, I guess the fortune teller's right.

I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light.

But you crawl beneath my veins and now

I don't care, I have no luck.  I don't miss it all that much.

There's just so many things that I can't touch, I'm torn.

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

Dm  (C)  Bb       Dm            F         C

Torn...           Ooooh...  Hoo ooooh...  Ooooh

There's nothing where he used to lie – my inspiration has run dry

That's what's going on, nothing's right, I'm torn

 

CHORUS [2x] TO OUTRO [Dm  C]
