STABBING WESTWARD - SHAME
Transcribed by ironcladlou

Intro is alternating octaves on an E MajorE chord. I play in Drop-D, so the tab would be

E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|
D MajorD|-2--14-2-14-2--14-2-14--2-14-----------------------------------|

Your mileage may vary.


D MajorD
I only see myself reflected in your eyes
D MajorD
So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
D MajorD
And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
D MajorD
Died with your belief in me, so who the hell am I?

    C majorC
I don't know if I am real without you
D MajorD
What is left of me without you?
C majorC
I don't know what's real without you
E MajorE
How can I exist without you?

D MajorD
I'm wandering 'round confused, wondering why I try
D MajorD
The more that you deny my pain, the more it intensifies
D MajorD
I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
D MajorD
If you ignore that I'm alive, I've nothing to cling to

    C majorC
I don't know if I am real without you
D MajorD
What is left of me without you?
C majorC
I don't know what's real without you
E MajorE
How can I exist without you?

D MajorD
I stare into this mirror, so tired of this life
D MajorD
If only you would speak to me, or care if I'm alive
D MajorD
Once I swore I would die for you, but I never meant it like this
D MajorD
I never meant like this, no I never meant like this

    C majorC
I don't know if I am real without you
D MajorD
What is left of me without you?
C majorC
I don't know what's real without you
E MajorE
How can I exist without you?
E MajorE
 How can I exist without you?
E MajorE
 How can I exist without you?
