This transcription is not my own work; it was contributed to the site by another Caedmon's Call fan.

I haven't had a lot of time for guitar recently, but this is one of several tabs that various nice people have sent me. I haven't reviewed or editted them, so no guarantees about accuracy, but I'm sure people will find them useful. If you have transcribed a Caedmon's Call or derek webb song that's not already on this site, please feel free to send it in to be shared here.

Manner and means
Capo 4th fret
Into- Bm7 C2 G D/F#
(hammer on the B and then to the C)

                      Bm7                C2                                  G    D/F#
The heart is a lonely thing to lose in the dead of the night
                    Bm7              C2                                 G       D/F#
The heart is a sad thing to lose in the throws of a fight
                         Bm7            C2
The heart is the match to the fire
                G             D/F#
And the embers of desire
                    Em7     C2
To keep it burning

I am a shell of the manner and the means
Mine is a story of nothing as it seems
But when we have come this far
And still we don't know who we are
Does it keep burning

E               Am                 G       C             Fmaj7    G   Gsus   G
When it's over and you see it with your eyes
E                  Am       G           C          Fmaj7     G   Gsus   G
Would you rather have the truth or a lie?

I call for angels to breathe holy on this rust
I call the snakes to come out slowly from the brush
I need a massive overhaul
A revival to fall
To keep it burning

Repeat chorus

Blank verse

Repeat chorus

The heart is a costly thing to sell in the prime of the years
My heart is thinly veiled in the usual fears
The heart is the dream, and the kiss
That there could be more than this
To keep it burning
To keep it burning
