A little bit of both guitars...
With a little help of power chords...
Comments!?

About the tuning... well I tried it with standard E, but I have this strange

feeling that dropD must be in there somewhere... or worse!
seriously, it is dropD - so I just wrote the letters instead of chords, they should
be correct and you can pick whatever finger position you like ;-)=

Trusting an illusion
Of what I thought to be
Never ceasing love
I burned myself again
Leaving scars that never heal
Becoming cynical
To this thing called love  --- D#-D

Love

Repeat Beat_B ******************************************************03:00



My soul is an open wound
Filled with salt of sadness
Was this my destiny
To be left alone
I nurse my misery
Leave no room for anyone
Still I am cynical
To this thing called love
