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

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

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

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

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

        E            C
I don't know if I am real without you
A               D
What is left of me without you?
E                   C
I don't know what's real without you
A           D                  E
How can I exist without you?
C A           D                 E 
  How can I exist without you?
E 
  How can I exist without you?
  
Repeat intro. End on the low E.
