The piece uses standard tuning.  This TAB is not exact but should get you close
enough to play along with the CD.  I'm not TAB expert.  Constructive comments are welcome.

Despite what the offical songbook for Much Afriad
says for the chords JOC doesn't play an Am7.  What
they play is an Asus7.  I got this both from struggling
with the standard notation and from seeing them in
concert.  So enjoy.

D
Convinced of my deception
Am7   Esus4
I've always been a fool
D
I fear this love reaction
Am7   Esus4
Just like you said I would
D
A rose could never lie
Am7   Esus4
About the love it brings
D
And I could never promise
Am7
to be any of those things
Chorus:
D
If I was not so weak
Am7
If I was not so cold
D
If I was not so scared of being broken
Am7
Growing old
D

Am7
I would be

Blessed are the shallow
Depth they'll never find
Seems to be some comfort
In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me
Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace
