This song was made for a 12 string, and I can attest to the response and sound when performed on one...This is the way I play it.
A2 B E
I am the only one to blame for this
A2 B F#m7
Some how it all ends up the same
A2 B E
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew to high and like
A2 B F#m7
Icarus I collide
C#m B A2
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
C#m B A2
To rid myself of all but love to live and die
A2 B A2
To turn away and not become
A2 B F#m9 F#m7
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
A2 B E
More deeper than the oceans, more abundant then the tears
A2 B F#m7
Of a world embracing every heartache
C#m B A2
and can I be the one to sacrifice
C#m B A
or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
C#m E A2 C#m
(to love you) (To need you) (To love you)
Take my world apart I am on my knees
E A2
(to need you) B C#m B A2
Take my world apart Broken on my knees.........
A2 B E
All said and done I stand-alone
A2 B F#m9 F#m7
Among remains of a life I should not own
A2 B E
It takes all I am to believe
A2 B F#m7
In the mercy that covers me
C#m B A2
And did you really have to die for me?
C#m B
All I am for all you are cause what I need and what I believe
A2
are worlds apart………And I pray
C#m E A2 C#m
(To love you) (To need you)
take my world apart I am on my knees
E A2 B C#m B A
(To love you) (To need you)
Take my world apart broken on my knees
B C#m B A2
On my knees
C#m B
I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost
A2
Wipe away the crimson stain and dull the nails that still remain
C#m B
More and more I need you now. I owe you more each passing hour
A2
The battle between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago
C#m B
So steal my heart and take the pain, wash my feet and cleanse my pride
A2
Take the selfish take the weak and all the things I cannot hide
C#m B
Take the beauty take my tears, this sin soaked heart make it yours
A2
Take my world apart, take it now, and take it now
(Chorus plays on top of this)
C#m E
Serve the ones that I despise and speak the words I can't deny.
A2
Watch the world I use to know fall to dust and go away
C#m E
I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost
A2
Wipe away the crimson stain and dull the nails that still remain
C#m B
So, steal my heart and take the pain, take the selfish take the weak
A2
And all the things I cannot hide take the beauty take my tears
C#m
take my world apart
B
Take my world apart
A C#m
And i pray, and I pray And I pray
B A2
Take my world apart
C#m B A2
Take my world apart
A2 B C#5
Cause I am on my knees
