Ok, here's how the riffs go with the song:

Riff B

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins

Riff B

Theres a dog at your back step

He must come in from the rain

Riff C

I fall cause I let go

The net below has rot away

Riff C

So my eyes seek reality

And my fingers seek my veins

Riff D

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

Riff E

And I can't bare to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

Riff D

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Riff E

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me

Riff F

My eyes seek reality

My fingers feel for faith

Riff F

Touch clean with a dirty hand

I touched the clean to the waste

Riff D

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

Riff E

And I can't bare to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

Riff D

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Riff E

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Riff G

Riff G

So low the sky is all I see

Riff G

All I want from you is forgive me

Riff G

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Riff G

Though he just wants right back out again

Riff F

And I cry, to the alley way

Confess all to the rain

Riff F

But I lie, lie straight to the mirror

The one I've broken, to match my face

Riff D

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

Riff E

And I can't bare to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

Riff D

So as I write to you (yeah)

Of what is done and to do (yeah)

Riff E

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Riff G

Riff G

So low the sky is all I see

Riff G

All I want from you is forgive me

Riff G

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Riff G

Though he just wants right back out again

Riff B

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins
