An awesome song, I must admit. Very powerful,
musically and lyrically. This is not the easiest
guitar song on the record, but not the hardest.
Drop D tuning, 1/2 step down

intro... This riff is played a lot throughout the
song. so listen for it... This is also the ending
of the song, the E and the bending of the note not
the Bb and C.

The solo, is basically lots of distortion and feedback.
I believe that he is also playing some really high notes.

something like that, although
i'm not 100% sure...
I know I should have told you
But I was so afraid you'd leave
And now there's nothing left to say
Well nothing that you'd believe
E E
I never meant to hurt you
E Bb C G
With the things I couldn't say
E E
I promise you tomorrow while
E Bb C G
Denying you today
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G
A darkness grows inside me
In fading shades of grey
All the colors in the world
Are slowly sucked away
E E
And i'm sinking ever deeper
E Bb C G
To a place that's cold and black
E E
I can't believe i've lost you
E Bb C G
And your never coming back
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G E E
Torn my world apart
Soon the night will take me
And save me from my pain
Cloak me in cold darkness
And help me lose your name
E D
These lies they've torn my world apart
A C
These lies they've torn my world apart
E D A
These lies they've torn my world apart
C G E
Torn my world apart
E E
Torn my world apart
E E
Torn my world apart
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.
