WHEN I TAB I DON’T TAB EVERYTHING
I’LL SHOW THE CHORD AND THEN TAB THE PARTS THAT
ACTUALLY NEED TO BE TABBED... I’LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO
CHANGE CHORDS, BY PUTTING THE CHORD NAME OVER THE LYRICS
INTRO... AND PART OF THE CHORUS. THE CHORUS CONSISTS OF A D
THEN AN E, THEN THAT INTRO RIFF. WHEN YOU LISTEN AND
START TO PLAY ALONG YOU WILL GET IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM.
WHEN YOU DEADEN (THE X’s) THE STRINGS IT WILL CREATE THE
HARMONICS...

I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So your searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole

Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you... (I am just as fucked as you)

Please don’t take pity on me

F# D2 E3 F#2
Please don’t take pity on me

Please don’t take pity on me IM NOT SURE IF THAT IS
RIGHT BUT ITS THE BEST I
CAN DO FOR NOW...
My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
So if I must be lonely
I think I’d rather be alone...
