   /                     / I think this everlasting song is about this girl, who
  /  Natalie Umbruglia  /  looks back and realizes that she took love from an
 /  Torn (Unplugged)   /   old boyfriend for granted because of her 'sky'-high
/_____________________/    expectations, and eventually ends up having nothing.

VERSE
F
  I thought I saw a man brought to life
Am                                        Bb9
  He was warm; he came around like he was dignified
  He showed me what it was to cry



VERSE
F
  Well you couldn't be that man that I adored
Am                                                Bb9
  You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for
  But I don't know him anymore



PRE-CHORUS
          Dm
  There's nothing where he used to lie
C7
  My conversation has run dry
Am
  That's what's going on
Bb9                   F
  Nothing's fine, I'm torn



CHORUS
F                C7
  I'm all out of faith
                Dm
  This is how I feel
                    Bb9
  I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
F                  C7
  Illusion never changed
                 Dm
  Into something real
                     Bb9                          F
  I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
                  C7
  You're a little late
              Dm   Bb9
  I'm already torn



VERSE
F
  So I guess the fortune teller's right
Am                                                  Bb9
  I should've seen just what was there and not some holy light
  But you crawled beneath my veins and now



PRE-CHORUS
Dm
  I don't care, I have no luck
C7
  I don't miss it all that much
Am                        Bb9
  There's just so many things
                        F
  That I can touch, I'm torn



CHORUS



PRE-CHORUS
          Dm
  There's nothing where he used to lie
C7
  My inspiration has run dry
Am
  That's what's going on
Bb9                   F
  Nothing's fine, I'm torn



CHORUS
F                C7
  I'm all out of faith
                Dm
  This is how I feel
                    Bb9
  I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
F                  C7
  Illusion never changed
                 Dm
  Into something real
                     Bb9                          F
  I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
F                C7
  I'm all out of faith
                Dm
  This is how I feel
                   Bb9	                             F
  I'm cold and I'm ashamed, bound and broken on the floor
                  C7
  You're a little late
              Dm   Bb9
  I'm already torn
