This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Interlude: - spoken by Henry Rollins

Play Fig 4 through the entire interlude (about 18 x)

If I let you, you would make me destroy myself

In order to survive you, I must first survive myself

And I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you

There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you

I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain

I will use my mistakes against you

There is no other choice

Shameless now

Nameless now

Nothing now

No one now

But my soul must be iron

Cause my fear is naked

I'm naked and fearless,

Then play this.....

    E|-------------------------|
    B|-------------------------|
    G|-------------------------|
    D|-----------------3-0-3-0-|
    A|-----------------3-0-3-0-|
    D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-0-3-0-|

And my fear is naked

Then play Fig 3 - 8x (Starting w/ the word "Dead")

[Dead inside] 4x

Nameless now

Shameless now

Nothing now

No one now

Then there is some picking part which I haven't figured out yet

[Shit adds up] 4x

Then play Fig 3 - 4x (Starting w/ the word "naked")

As you see me naked now

Fearless now

Naked now

Fearless now

Then there is that picking again

[Shit adds up] 3x

Play Fig 3 - 4x (Starting w/ the word "dead")

It leaves me dead inside

dead inside

dead inside

dead in........SIDE!

Then play variations of this

E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|-0--X-2--X-5--X-3--X-|
A|-0--X-2--X-5--X-3--X-|
D|-0--X-2--X-5--X-3--X-|

Then comes this

E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3-|
A|-0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3-|
D|-0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3--0--3-3-|

Then play Fig 1, (Starting w/ the word "Hatred") then

Fig 1A, then

Fig 1, then

Fig 1A

Hatred accuse me of lying

Cowardice accuse me of lying

Weakness accuse me of lying

Guilt accuse me of lying at the bottom

Then comes some stuff I didn't even try to tab

And it ends with

E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|-5----0--------------|
A|-5----0--------------|
D|-5----0--------------|

And that is about it.

Just so there is no confusion, what is right above each sectiuo of

the lyrics gets played through that entire section, not befpre.

If you listen to the song it will be easy to figure out.

Not all of the lyrics are correct but that was the best I could do.

I left out some stuff that gets played in the background, especially at

the very end.

I hope I didn't screw it up too much
