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...

Just keep playing that until you hear it change to the riff above...

The words...
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

| wow this song is great. and the lyrics are amazing. it pretty much sums up my past relationship. it shows the shame and self hatred i feel because of the mistakes ive made. i just love it. and its pretty straightforward. | |

| This is my favorite Stabbing Westward song. In fact, I loved it so much, I actually made a music video based on a movie with that as the music. Great band. :D | |
