the next few lines are played over the above chords:
Will I be alone this morning?
Will I need my (friends?)?
Something just to ease away my pain.
No-one ever sees the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my fame
then pick through the following chords a few times:
||: Dm | C | Gm | Dm :||
Dm
If I could only stand,
C
and stare in the mirror would I see
Gm C Dm
One fallen hero with a face like me
Dm C
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
Gm C Dm
If I smash the silence you'll see what fame has done to me
Bb C Dm
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
Bb C Dm
I'll never know if loves a lie.. being..
Bb C Dm
crazy in paradise is easy
Bb C Bb Gm
do you see the prisoners in my eye
Dm C \
where's the love.. to shelter me | X 2

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 WASP 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.
