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!
DI open up the photograph book, Asee the pictures, they?ve all faded
GI see the smiles and the laughter, Emand the ones not so hated.
                       G                                                  D*   D*
Empty bottles of booze, empty bottles of pills, well, I guess, that this is it.
GI?m standing tall on the high high building, Clooking down where I?m just about to Dhit.
DI think back, throughout my life, Aand, 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.
ASo now I stand!
GI can?t believe, I?m standing Dhere up top, this old tall Crooftop.
GI never thought that it would come to this, Embut I have to show the ones I once loved.
EmThat I?ll jump, that I?ll faCll. EmThat I?ll hit the Cground so hard and
EmAnd then they?ll see, Cthey?ll see it all. GThe boy who was literally Dtorn apart.
DAnother puzzle, another Adream smashed down, down the empty alley-Gway.
GIn a way all the joy left in me, Emleave 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.
GWell I?m left here, left here better off Ddead. And I guess that my vision is out of Dtime.
ASo once again I?m Gthat way. I can?t believe I?m standing Dhere up top this old tall Crooftop.
GI never thought that it would come to this, Embut I have to show the ones I once loved.
EmThat I?ll jump, and that I?ll Cfall, Emthat I?ll hit the Cground so hard and Emthen they?ll see,
Cthey?ll see it all. GThe boy who was literally Dtorn apart.
GThat boy who was literally torn apart.
GThat boy who was literally torn apart.
EmAnd then I?ll jump, and then I?ll Cfall, and Emthen I?ll hit the Cground so hard and, Emthen they?ll see,
Cthey?ll see it all. GWhen my heart was literally Dtorn apart.
