[Typed out by Mardi Gras(TNT)]
I recently got a request for help with this one. Note that this has not been completely worked out, but should act as a foundation for you to work on. I found a little help for this from a friend of mine.
Notes: Rhy Fig 1 is played for the intro and also through the verses. Rhy Fig 2 is played during the chorus.
The intro sections should be played with distortion, so turn the gain up! The chorus section is played with very light distortion with some sort of a wave-like effect added.
Tablature explanation:
2^4 Hammer on from 2 to 4
4^2 Pull off from 4 to 2
2/4 Slide up from 2 to 4
42 Slide down from 4 to 2
2`(4) Bend up a whole step from 2 to 4
(4)`2 Release bend a whole step from 4 to 2
2~~~ Vibrato on 2
2^^^ Heavy vibrato/Tremelo vibrato on 2
+2 Tap on 2
2- Release tap off 2
+2/4 Tap 2 and slide up to 4
+42 Tap 4 and slide down to 2

The lyrics:
Verse 1: Lost and alone in this city of darkness
Empty of lovers and full of lies
You build a wall between your dreams and the madness
I reach out my hand, but you run and hide
Pre chorus 1: I`ve watched you cry in the rain
I wanna bring back the joy again
Chorus 1: Open your heart to mine
I believe, I believe
You might be lucky this time
You might be lucky this time
Verse 2: No guarantees when you risk your emotion
So you surrender and it all went astray
Bitter and hopeless in your cold isolation
But you my love won`t ever fade away
Pre chorus 2: I wanna dry all your tears, yes
You know there`s nothing to fear, baby
Chorus 2: (Same as chorus 1)
Bridge: And when the shadows start to fall
Let my love break down the walls
