Okay so, this is my first time making a tab. I really love this song, it's actually my
favorite by flyleaf, and I realized no one else had a tab for this yet. Sooo, playing
around with my guitar, I found chords that hopefully might be the right ones. All I know 
is they're good enough to play with when I'm singing it, so. Hopefully this helps anyone
else who wanted it for the same thing. :)
AmBreaks your knees and leaves you so
The sCun can burn you up and wear you oGut
It's an anFgry summer
AmThere's no room to smile
When the faCce you make just before you cGry
Looks so young like a chFildAm  G  
The suAmn will sCet on thGis my deFar
Your laAmbors arCen't in vGain
You're blisAmtered aCnd you're buGrned from iFt
      Am         C      G
Your wounds are gonna heal
LAmife on earth will end for all coCnceived
And prove to be only a breGath,
A mist, a womb for what's to coFme
How soon forever arrives Am....G
The suAmn will sCet on thGis my deFar
Your laAmbors arCen't in vGain
You're blisAmtered aCnd you're buGrned from iFt
      Am         C      G
Your wounds are gonna heal
AmSteadfast my loCve
The eGnd is neFar
Just keAmep your eCyes ahGead
Grab hAmold of mCe
I'll hGelp you thFere
You're nevAmer oCn your oGwn
You're neAmver aCll aloGne
AmLife on earth will end for all cConceived
And prove to be only a breGath,
A mist, a womb for what's to coFme
How soon forever arrives
AmBreaks your knees and leaves you so
The sCun can burn you up and wear you ouGt
It's an aFngry summer
AmDon't look at the past again
The fiCrst and last has made everything nGew
And you are too So lift your hFead
And let your story be told
AmLife on earth will end for all cConceived
And prove to be only a breGath,
A mist, a womb for what's to coFme
How soon forever arrives
The sAmun will Cset on tGhis my dFear
Your laAmbors arCen't in vGain
You're blisAmtered aCnd you're buGrned from iFt

Your laAmbors arCen't in vGain
AmLife on earth will end for all cConceived
And prove to be only a breGath,
