This is my first tab so I hope I did ok. 
This song was pretty tricky to figure out 
since Glen plays out of open E. 
As for the B, I didnt know what to call it 
because its actually played like a Bm except 
on the 7th fret. Any questions leave me a comment. 
EmI find it so hard to be true
And all these lies I'm telling you
Are little anchors in my chest
That pull us down into this mess
AmI find it easy to distract
And just as soon as you turn your back
I'll be gone again
EmI find it so hard to be true
And all the secrets I keep from you
Are like a blackness in my heart
That slowly tears us both apart
AmI find it easy to pretend 
That we're not heading for our end
That's why I'm telling you
Gmaj7I built a wall
BmI cut you off
BNow there's no lie 
Bm/Am  
That's gonna fix this hurt
Gmaj7I played the saint
BmThe saint I aint
BNow all the hurt
Bm/Am  
Is here again.... here again
EmI find it so hard to be true
But I'm gonna try my best for you
And every distance that we've known
Will disappear before too long
AmAnd every line we've ever drawn
Will be erased before we're gone
This I swear to you
Gmaj7I built a wall
BmI cut you off
BNo there's no lie
Bm/Am  
That's gonna fix this hurt
Gmaj7I played the saint
BmI cursed your name
BNow there's no one
Bm/Am  
But myself to blame
That you're gone
wait...
wait

Gmaj7

This is my first tab so I hope I did ok.

This song was pretty tricky to figure out

since Glen plays out of open E.

As for the B, I didnt know what to call it

because its actually played like a Bm except

on the 7th fret. Any questions leave me a comment.

I find it so hard to be true

And all these lies I'm telling you

Are little anchors in my chest

That pull us down into this mess

I find it easy to distract

And just as soon as you turn your back

I'll be gone again

I find it so hard to be true

And all the secrets I keep from you

Are like a blackness in my heart

That slowly tears us both apart

I find it easy to pretend

That we're not heading for our end

That's why I'm telling you

Gmaj7

I built a wall

I cut you off

Now there's no lie

Bm Am

That's gonna fix this hurt

Gmaj7

I played the saint

The saint I aint

Now all the hurt

Bm Am

Is here again.... here again

I find it so hard to be true

But I'm gonna try my best for you

And every distance that we've known

Will disappear before too long

And every line we've ever drawn

Will be erased before we're gone

This I swear to you

Gmaj7

I built a wall

I cut you off

No there's no lie

Bm Am

That's gonna fix this hurt

Gmaj7

I played the saint

I cursed your name

Now there's no one

Bm Am

But myself to blame

That you're gone

wait...
