[Intro]
Eb

[Verse 1]
Bb
I thought I saw a girl brought to life
Ab
She was warm, she came around like she was dignified
Eb
She showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn’t be that girl I adored
Bb Ab
Don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care what your heart is for
But I don’t know her anymore

There’s nothing where she used to lie
Bb Ab
My conversation has run dry

That’s what’s going on
Eb
Nothing’s fine, I’m torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right

I should have seen just what was there
Ab
And not some holy light

But you crawled beneath my veins and now

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t care, I had no luck

I don’t miss it all that much

There’s just so many things

That I can touch, I’m torn

Lying naked on the floor

Into something real

I’m wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You’re a little late, I’m already torn

How to play Torn: key, chords and progression

Torn by Neck Deep is in the key of E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). The song uses 4 chords: Eb, Bb, Ab and Cm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab (I – V – vi – IV in E♭ major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes D, A, G, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
