 String picking melodey dstring

F# 
My life 
                                         E 
Charred remains of a flame that's burned out 
                                   D 
My lips move but they won't make a sound 
                             C# 
I stand motionless, eyes to the ground 
             F# 
Back for more 
                      E 
With reopened scars i remain 
                                D 
Battered savagely, knees start to shake 
                                C# 
I just stand there, I take it, I wait 
(Chorus) 
C# struming    (pause)  D     E   
I'm just waiting for time to erase 
E       F#   G#   A  D    
And the world to change 
           E                         F# 
Until then I will strive for nothing more 
                      D        E 
I'll just wait for my heart to break 
    F#    G#  A D        E   F#        E   D   C# 
And arise from ash, reborn   reborn 
 *String melody on dstring* 
F# 
Look at me 
                           E 
Cut my eye and allow me to see 
                              D 
What my life has become on my knees 
                                  C# build up 
oh I hear the screams, I watch myself bleed 

But ? can't feel a thing 
         F# 
What am I 
                          E 
But a victim unwilling to rise 
                                D 
Wretched shell of a man and his pride 
                                     C# 
Why stop living, I'm just waiting to die (back to Chorus) 
*intermission slow part*A barr 7th fret with picking {7,7,9} {0,0,9-7}  
A      Asus(7th fret n 9th fret 3rd finger) open D while(7 to 9) on d string 
My life it's so                              familiar 
    Asus                      D 
Why lie when everything's the same 
        3x(B)(9fret)3xB 3xD            3xC# 
But who am I, and what am I waiting for anyway....(Chorus) 
F#         E              D     E       F# 
And I will die waiting to be reborn....reborn         tabed by
