Song: Snuff (Acoustic)
Artist: Slipknot
Album: All Hope is Gone
This song is for the acoustic version by Corey Taylor found at 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6VftcpePOg

This song just uses some basic chords. Tuning is C# standard. That means from low 
to high C#-F#-B-E-G#-C# or Drop B with the 6th string in C#.
So the chords are (by standard shape)

Am    Em    C/G    G7     G  Note: I play the G7 like this and it sounds fine
-0-   -0-   -0-    -1-   -3-            -0-
-1-   -0-   -1-    -0    -3-            -1-
-2-   -0-   -0-    -0-   -0-            -0-
-2-   -2-   -2-    -0-   -0-            -0-
-0-   -2-   -3-    -2-   -2-            -2-
-x-   -0-   -3-    -3-   -3-            -3-

Just so you know, the intro and verse, you hold the first chord for a while then 
jump skip the 2nd for a strum to the third. Repeat the pattern for 3 and 4. Youll 
hear it if you listen to the song. and I know the chorus lyrics arent the same but 
I call it that because the guitar is the same
Intro:
Am Em C/G G7 x2

Verse:
Am                       Em  C/G     G7
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Am                        Em   C/G                  G7
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
Am                      Em   C/G            G7
The air around me still feels like a cage
Am                          Em   C/G
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

Interlude:
Am Em C/G G7 Am Em C/G(hold)

Chorus:
                           G
So if you love me, let me go.
                       Am
And run away before I know.
                     G
My heart is just too dark to care.
                       Am
I can't destroy what isn't there.
                 G
Deliver me into my fate -
                  Am
If I'm alone I cannot hate
                     G
I don't deserve to have you...
     C/G
My smile was taken long ago
(Still C/G)
If I can change I hope I never know

Break:
Am Em C/G G7 x2

Verse:
Am                          Em C/G       G7
I still press your letters to my lips
Am                              Em   C/G              G7
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
Am                             Em    C/G     G7
I couldn't face a life without your lights
Am                            Em  C/G
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Chorus:
C/G                              G
So save your breath, I will not care.
                         Am
I think I made it very clear.
                    G
You couldn't hate enough to love.
                          Am
Is that supposed to be enough?
                       G
I only wish you weren't my friend.
                Am
Then I could hurt you in the end.
                   G
I never claimed to be a saint...
     C/G
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
(Still C/G)
It took the death of hope to let you go

Break:
Am Em C/G G7 x3 Then....  Am Em C/G

Chorus:
                         G
So break yourself against my stones
                   Am
And spit your pity in my soul
                  G
You never needed any help
                  Am
You sold me out to save yourself
                        G
And I won't listen to your shame
                        Am
You ran away - you're all the same
           G
Angels lie to keep control...
     C/G
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
                                      Am      Em  
If you still care, don't ever let me know
C/G                                 G7            (Am Em C/G G7) x2 
     If you still care, don't ever let me know...

Then end on Am
