The song is based on 4 Chords.
(I think, the second guitar
C# A B F plays the low F )
e | ----- | | ----- | | ----- | | ----- | | ----- |
B | ----- | | ----- | | ----- | | ----- | | ----- |
G | --6-- | | ----- | | ----- | | --(b9)- | | ----- |
D | --6-- | | --7-- | | --(b9)- | | --(b9)- | | --3-- |
A | --4-- | | --7-- | | --(b9)- | | --7-- | | --3-- |
E | ----- | | --5-- | | --7-- | | ----- | | --1-- |
From the second verse on, the lead guitar plays a little riff like
(palm muted)
e | ----------- |
B | ----------- | on the C#-parts, and also plays them
G | ----------- | on the A- and B-parts. Listen to the
D | --6-6664--- | song, and you'll know, hat I mean ;o)
A | --4-4444--- |
E | ----------- |
Not sure about the tab at the beginning, kind of like that.

C#
Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess
B
I should?ve known better when I took the risk
C#
To wreck myself and to gamble while broke
A
Shaking something mental at a loss for the words I?d once known
C#
I traded two steps forward for three steps back
B
To get to know the meaning of showing respect
C#
I found the pedestals and burned them down
A
To kill my idols and to bury the thoughts underground
B
I?m no longer deaf to the sounds
Chorus:
C# A F B
I?m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A F B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C#
Well I got my head up in a critical mess
B
Fighting like a demon in a shell I possess
C#
Gnashing my teeth and speaking in tongues
A
Still shaking something mental at a loss of the words I?d once known
B
Something?s rattling my bones
Chorus:
C# A F B
I?m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A F B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C# A F B
I?m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A F B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
Intermission:
A B A B
A
Stand to hold steady now
B
To take a breath and somehow
A
Take a step to begin again
B
After all we can only do out best
Chorus:
C# A F B
I?m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A F B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
C# A F B
I?m hardly feeling human anymore
C# A F B
Enough to drag my body from the floor
A B (ends with Bass)
Stand and hold steady now
