STABBING WESTWARD - SHAME
Transcribed by ironcladlou
Intro is alternating octaves on an E chord. I play in Drop-D, so the tab would be
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|
A|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|
D|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|
Your mileage may vary.

A D
What is left of me without you?

I don't know if I am real without you
A D
What is left of me without you?
E C
I don't know what's real without you
A D E
How can I exist without you?
E D
I stare into this mirror, so tired of this life
E D
If only you would speak to me, or care if I'm alive
E D
Once I swore I would die for you, but I never meant it like this
E D
I never meant like this, no I never meant like this
