Stabbing Westward – Shame chords

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.


E                 DI only see myself reflected in your eyes
E                          DSo all that I believe I am essentially are lies
E                               DAnd everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
E                            DDied with your belief in me, so who the hell am I?

E                              DI'm wandering 'round confused, wondering why I try
E                               DThe more that you deny my pain, the more it intensifies
E                                 DI pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
E                             DIf you ignore that I'm alive, I've nothing to cling to

        E            CI don't know if I am real without you

E                         DI stare into this mirror, so tired of this life
E                              DIf only you would speak to me, or care if I'm alive
E                                 DOnce I swore I would die for you, but I never meant it like this
E                        DI never meant like this, no I never meant like this
