This is one of my favorites next to sometimes it hurts.
A beautiful song using basic powerchords.
Standard tuning
E
A
D
G
B
e
To the best of my knowledge in tabbing this song
there are only two chords.
B | G
---|---|--
---|---|--
-4-|-4-|--
-4-|-5-|--
-2-|-5-|--
---|-3-|--
intro... is something like that, keep repeating the B
and the G and playing the notes of those
particular chords. It's also played before
the break and inbetween verses.
---2----3--3--------------

B G
I keep breaking all the promises
B G
That I keep making to myself
B G
You'd think by now i'd be over this
B G
Instead i'm feeling sorry for myself
B G
So why does everything seem desperate now
B G
I should be feeling so alive
B
But it feels like somethings missing
G
Something's wrong somehow
B
It feels like something
G (PALM MUTE)
Deep inside has died
G B
So why do I feel desperate now
G B
Why do I feel like dying
G B
Why do I feel desperate now
G
Why do I feel desperate now
B G
I keep breaking all the promises
B G
That I keep making to myself
B G
But the promises mean nothing to me anymore
B
Circling the drain
G (PALM MUTE)
Spiraling to hell
G B
So why do I feel desperate now
G B
Why do I feel like dying
G B
Why do i feel desperate now
G
Why do i feel desperate now
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STABBING WESTWARD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
