Me Vs. the World - Madina Lake - From Them, Through Us, To You This is my favorite track off of Madina Lake's "From Them, Through Us, To You" album. loud, fast, and a lot of fun to play. I hope you enjoy. If you don't have the album, go it, and even better go see these guys live. Their shows are wicked. I'm not sure how Madina Lake plays this song, but I play with standard tuning on the guitar and pick around on the chords. On the electric I use drop D and play mostly power on the bottom 3 strings. There are a few parts where the lyrics overlap (too many not enough beats) but I tried to keep it as easy to follow as I could. Follow along the song a few times to get the flow and rythmn down if you need. This is pretty easy song. Thanks, WiLL Intro: e|-13-----12-----| B|------------13-| G|---------------| Repeat D|---------------| 16x A|---------------| E|---------------| - (repeat 8x) ***** Verse 1 ***** Sometimes I try not to hate myself For everything I never said when you were here And so I'm burning up photographs Of what was a perfect past 'cause I'm still here ***** Chorus ***** But I'm barely holding on, where did I go wrong Choking on the difference between me and the world And ever since you've been gone I've been torn apart I know that you can't hear me but I'm still hurt And I wish you were here ***** Verse 2 ***** It's so hard that I try to bury it Pretend that you didn't exist, so I can be strong But I feel sick, and I feel diseased 'Cause everyone abandons me, and I can't move along ***** Chorus ***** Cause I'm barely holding on, where did I go wrong Choking on the difference between me and the world And ever since you've been gone I've been torn apart I know that you can't hear me but I'm still hurt And I wish you were here ***** Break ***** I can not pretend you didn't exist Misery is just a state of mind Hiding from the world's no way to live So I'll convince myself that I'll be fine I'll be fine But since I lost you I'm barely holding on ***** Chorus ***** Cause I'm barely holding on, where did I go wrong Choking on the difference between me and the world And ever since you've been gone I've been torn apart I know that you can't hear me but I'm still hurt So I look up to the stars And wonder out loud Why everything I had in life Has fallen from my arms Can you even hear this song? I'm screaming at the clouds Screaming to a galaxy That never cared at all That I need you here
