 Believing what I'm seeing

 The hungry tiger for all who never began

 E MajorE          F#F# C#C#
  There was a time

 There was a way to live

 E MajorE         F#F# C#C#
 And it's no secret


 That it won't come back again

Verse:

 E MajorE      F#F#  C#C#
 I lose myself like anybody else

 E MajorE          F#F# C#C#
 But I'm not so strong to make it in the end

 E MajorE         F#F#    C#C#
 I need some answers when the day comes crashing down

 E MajorE          F#F#      C#C#
 'Cause it's all over when there's no one to be found

Tabbed by wilburine
There's a heap of other little licks, especially in the chorus, but I didn't really feel that it was all
worth tabbing out. This is just the bulk of it.
