Simple song, standard tuning works well.

I’ll just write out the riffs and then you can see where to play them
on the lyrics below. Hope it isn’t too confusing or complicated.

/# or # slide up or down to that fret(don’t pluck the new note)
~ hold
b# bend to that fret
h# hammer that fret(don’t pluck)
r release bend or hammer(let original note sound though)

[Riff 1] – intro and last line of 2nd verse
Leave the high E string open and just hit it every other beat. The
meat of this riff is played on the B string. Listen to the song for
the timing.

E|----0----0-------0----0--------0----0-------0-----0---|
B|-12---12---12/13---13~~~/15-10---10---12b13r---10-----|
G|------------------------------------------------------|

[Riff 2] – On 2nd verse, 3rd line.

G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|

[Riff 3] – Verse
During some of the lines in the verses this is played. I’m not even
sure if it’s guitar, but it has a weird effect on it.

E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|-8----------5-------------1---------------------------|
G|-9----------5-------------2---------------------------|
D|-9----------5-------------2---------------------------|
A|-7----------3-------------0---------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|

[Riff 4] – chorus
Just some power chords. You could add the open low E string on the
first chord for a lower bass note.

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

[Riff 5] – played on bridge and outro,
Use an opening wah effect with some distortion and play this really
fast. It follows Chris’s voice when he sings “dry”

Lyrics:

[Riff 1] x 2

[1ST VERSE] – (At the beginning of the first two lines there is a
single note on the high E string at fret 12)

We’ve ignored the truth trying to paint this perfect life.
There’s no ugliness if we only close our eyes.
[Riff 3]
But you cut too deep, too often, now I’m hemorraging inside,
Now it’s too late to stitch up with a butterfly.

[Riff 4] x 2
Is this what you want? Is this what you need?
You tear out my soul to watch as I bleed?
Is this what you want? Is this what you need?
You tear out my soul [STOP RIFF] to watch as I bleed?

[Riff 1]

[2ND VERSE] – (Same as the first verse for the first two lines.

[Riff 3] – over entire verse
I swallow all my hate, keep it buried deep inside,
But I’m choking on a truth that I can’t deny.
[Riff 2]
That you cut too deep, too often, now I’m hemorraging inside,
[Riff 1]
It will take more than a tourniquet this time.[STOP RIFFS EARLY]

[Riff 4] x 2
Is this what you want? Is this what you need?
You tear out my soul to watch as I bleed?
Is this what you want? Are you satisfied?
There’s nothing left…

[Riff 4] & [Riff 5] x 2
You’ve bled me dry.
You’ve bled me dry.

[Riff 4] [STOP RIFF EARLY]
But you cut too deep, too often, now I’m hemorraging inside.
[Riff 3] [Riff 6]
Now it’s too late to stitch up with a butterfly.

[Riff 4] x 2
Is this what you want? Is this what you need?
You tear out my soul to watch as I bleed?
Is this what you want? Are you satisfied?
There’s nothing left…

[Riff 4] & [Riff 5] x 4
You’ve bled me dry.
You’ve bled me dry.
You’ve bled me dry. (But you cut…)
You’ve bled me dry. (But you cut…)

This is a fairly simple song to learn. The chord progression is same throughout
the song. I’m pretty sure it is in Drop-D tuning, but it doesn’t sound bad in
standard. You have to play the bridge and outro up an octave though.

Main chords:
Use these on the intro and chorus with some distortion. I hear a bit
of a slide down from the C to G, that is why I put it up on 10.

E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-------------------5---------------------------------------|
D|--7-------------------7---------10----------------5----------|
A|--5-------------------5---------10----------------5----------|
D|--------------------------------10----------------5----------|

Add this on the intro and final chorus before the outro:

E|-------13---12---10---8b10b10---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------10b11b11---|
G|--------------------------------9h10p9-9--9h10p9-9------------|
D|--12----------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse:

This guitar part is in the second half of the first verse and all the
second verse. Play it with a wah effect:
Add this once
in a while

E|------------------------------------------------|-------------|
B|------6---5---6---------------------8---5---8---|--10b11b11---|
G|------------------------------------------------|-------------|
D|--0-----------------------------0---------------|-------------|
A|------------------------------------------------|-------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|-------------|

Bridge & outro:
Drop-D tuning

E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------3h5-0h3h5-0h3h5-3h5-0h3h5-0----|
D|--0---0-0h2h3-0h2h3-0-7p5s3-0------------------------------2h3|

Standard tuning

E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------1h3---1h3---1h3-1h3---1h3------|
G|----------------------2p0----------2-----2---------2-----2----|
D|--0---0-0h2h3-0h2h3-0-----3-0------------------------------2h3|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

This is played at the 2nd part of the bridge with some delay or some weird effect.
I think I can hear it faintly over the rest of the bridge and outro part also.

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|7h9h10-7h9h10-7h9h10-7h9h10-7h9h10-9h10h12-9h10h12-9h10h12-9h10h12-9h10h12|

Lyrics

Burn…
Burn…

[1st Verse]

All my memories
Of a life forgotten,
The pictures, the letters that we wrote…

[enter verse guitar]

Are hidden in the dark,
Locked away forever,
Buried in a shoebox labeled burn.

Let it burn…
Burn away the memories,
Let it burn…
Burn away the pain,
Let it burn…
‘til there’s nothing left but ashes,
Let it burn…
and the ashes blow away.
Let it burn…

[2nd Verse]
[verse guitar all the way through]
Some nights when it rains
I dig out your old pictures
And dance with memories sour now with age.
I wish I could let go
And walk out of this prison,
The shrine I have built around my pain.

Let it burn…
Let it burn…
Let it burn…

[2nd Part of Bridge]
I cannot be free
until there’s nothing left but ashes
of a shoebox labeled burn.

[Last Chorus]

Let it burn…

Intro: Em – Em – Em – Em – F (x8)

Verse 1:

Everywhere that I go I can see you
Your ghost won’t die
And every breath that I take I can feel you
Here by my side
You haunt me every moment
You stole my life
I must break these chains that bind you here

Chorus 1:

I’ll erase every single trace of you
I’ll erase every single trace of you
Every trace of you

Break: Em – Em – Em – Em – F (x4)

Verse 2:

I have built you a funeral pyre
To say goodbye
Threw all your pictures in the fire
And then I cried
The flames grew higher and higher
They touched the sky
But even as you burn your ghost won’t die

Chorus 2:

I’ll erase every single trace of you
I’ll erase every single trace of you
I’ll forget your smile, Forget your eyes
Forget mouth, Forget your lies
I’ll erase every fucking trace of you
Every trace of you

Bridge:

Every trace of you
Every where that I go I can see you
And every breath that I take I can feel you
And every tear that I cry reminds me why

Chorus 3:

I’ll erase every single trace of you
I’ll erase every single trace of you
I’ll forget your smile, Forget your eyes
Forget mouth, Forget your lies
I’ll erase every fucking trace of you
Every trace of you
Every trace of you
Every trace of you
