----- Optional Second Guitar Part
Throughout the verses a keyboard/synthesizer is playing a wind sound effect
in the background. A second guitar can achieve this by either using feedback
in the pitch of A or using an open A string and feeding either one through
a wah pedal.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
The more I feel...
The more I die...
Nothing to give...
Nothing inside...
Chorus 1:
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
Verse 2:
I scratch and tear...
Until it bleeds...
I do not want...
I only need...I only need...I only need...
Chorus 2:
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
[Third vocal line:]
(Then when I break you. Then when I break you. Then I break you.)
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.
