Shame by Stabbing Westward Tabbed by Dave Bloom mizar_alcor@yahoo.com The breakthrough single for Stabbing Westward, and I must say. One ***in cool video, anyway, a pretty easy song. Standard Tuning E A D G B e Intro, Outro, and inbetween 1st and 2nd verse... Play that, then end on a basic E. Play that E, it is what to play and let ring out inbetween the 2nd and 3rd verse... ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---9-9-9---9-9-9--9------2-- ---7-7-7---7-7-7--7------2-- -0-----0-0-----0-0-------0-- The chorus... ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 12-14-14-14-14-12-14-14-14-12-14-14-14--9-10-10-9-10-10-9-10- 12-14-14-14-14-12-14-14-14-12-14-14-14--9-10-10-9-10-10-9-10- 10-12-12-12-12-10-12-12-12-10-12-12-12--7-8--8--7-8--8--7-8-- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 10-9-10-10-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-4-5-5-6-5-5-4-5-5-6-5-5-- 10-9-10-10-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-4-5-5-6-5-5-4-5-5-6-5-5-- 8--7-8--8--3-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-5-2-3-3-4-3-3-2-3-3-4-3-3-- After the chorus and before the outro play this...

I only see myself reflected in your eyes So all that I believe I am Essentially are lies And everything I've hoped to be Or ever thought I was Died with your belief in me So what the hell am I? I don't know if I am real without you What is left of me without you I don't know whats real without you How can I exist without you I'm wondering around confused Wondering why I try The more that you deny my pain The more it intensifies I pray for someone to ache for me The way I ache for you If you ignore that I'm alive I've nothing to clinge to I don't know if I am real without you What is left of me without you I don't know what's real without you How can I exist without you I stare into this mirror So tired of this life If only you would speak to me Or cared if I'm alive Once I swore I would die for you But I never meant like this I never meant like this No I never meant like this I don't know if I am real without you What is left of me wiothout you I don't know whats real without you How can I exist without you How can I exist without you How can I exist without you
