Tuning used (EADGBE)

Lyrics by AZlyrics
And a video of Corey Taylor reading it as a poem. I beleive its on youtube.

This is an acoustic version that I worked out one afternoon.
It's fairly straight forward, I can play along with the recorded version and it sounds pretty tight.
Any correction feel free to comment. Listen to the song for the rythem, I tried matching the chord change
with the words but I'm only human.
Solo in C#min. Though if played live acousticly it really needs a second guitar
to fill in the gaps while soloing.

My eyes started going crosseyed near the end of this
so if I made a mistake please comment and I will correct it ASAP.

Much Love,
DustyCarvin

C# minorC#m              BB (slide back up to C# minorC#m)
The bloody angle, the symmetry
C# minorC#m                 BB
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
C# minorC#m                        BB
My mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the truth
C#C#                   A augmentedA
And I don't need a reason to lie to you

C# minorC#m              BB
No pun intended, no punishment
C# minorC#m              BB
If I offended you, you needed it
C# minorC#m                      BB
Ideas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in time
C# minorC#m                      A augmentedA
If you don't have a weapon you can't have mine

(Breakdown, heavily muted)

C# minorC#m
I can bleed if I want to bleed
G# minorG#m
I can fail if I feel the need
C# minorC#m
This face is my last confession
G# minorG#m
This life, it feels like a prison


C# minorC#m      BB
Oh ho, I'm not afraid
A augmentedA        BB
I'm giving into grievances again
C# minorC#m          BB
You're looking at an absolute zero
A augmentedA            BB
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

(Break)

C# minorC#m             BB
The catatonic, the sacrilege
C# minorC#m               BB
Your primadonnas are a privilege
C# minorC#m                 BB
My God has a need to react, it's as simple as that
C# minorC#m              A augmentedA
It's better just to settle and face the facts


C# minorC#m
I can bleed if I want to bleed
G# minorG#m
I can feel if I feel the need
C# minorC#m
This face is my last confession
G# minorG#m
This life, it feels like a prison


C# minorC#m      BB
Oh ho, I'm not afraid
A augmentedA             BB
I'm giving into grievances again
C# minorC#m          BB
You're looking at an absolute zero
A augmentedA            BB
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

(Solo in C# minorC#m)


C# minorC#m       BB
One thing that I can't stand
G# minorG#m         A augmentedA
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
C# minorC#m          BB
I'll waste a lifetime's worth
G# minorG#m          A augmentedA
Just to play to one more day


C# minorC#m             BB
No fucking quota, no premiums
C# minorC#m              BB
The world is stuck in delirium
C# minorC#m               BB
Man is a four-letter word, it's really absurd
C# minorC#m               A augmentedA
The hate isn't fake, it's just inferred


C# minorC#m         BB
Oh ho, I'm not afraid
A augmentedA            BB
I'm giving into grievances again
A augmentedA           BB
I'm down to absolute zero
C# minorC#m                  BB
Another zealot with the weight of the fucking world


C# minorC#m       BB
Oh, I'm not afraid
A augmentedA            BB
And I will let you down as I hold you in
C# minorC#m            BB
You're looking at an absolute zero
A augmentedA                 BB
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero


End solo, with riff. I noodle around in the C#m.
