This is the best i could do. Though I really didn't do much, most of it was
figured out by Micah and guy before him (u know who ur). Anyway, the TAB for
the interlude riffs should be correct, but feel free to mess around with it
and make it the way you want.

But we don't feel

To dry our tears

Can the truth refine and free the soul
When the hurt you have is all you know
Through endless searching and nights of wondering
Someone said, "Just let it go"
Interlude Riffs-------------------------->
> For this you want to pick 'riff 1' and 'riff 2' without any singing. Then
precede to pick 'riff 3' with the '1st line' of words, then go back to 'riff
2' and pick while 'continuing' the '1st line' of the lyrics. Then go back to
'riff 3' and repeat that process with the '2nd line' of lyrics. After that go
through 'riff 4' and then sing "with a broken smile" with the chords three
times.
