[Intro]
 
C#m----E
 
Go! C#m---E
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 C#m
Stapled shut Inside an
outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight
            E
Bizarre but right at home
C#m
Claustrophobic
Closing in and I'm
             E
Catastrophic Not again
     C#m
I’m smeared across the page
And doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain Yet
        E
I'm the one who's obscene
C#m
  Catch me up on all your sordid
little indiscretions
I've got no time to lose I'm just
E
caught up in all the cattle
 
 
[Refrain 1]
 
C#m
  Frey the strings…
Throw the shapes…
Hold your breath…
Listen!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m    E
I am a world before I am a man
C#m     E
I was a creature before I could stand
C#m      E                  F#m
I will remember before I forget
A
  Before I forget that!
(Repeat)
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C#m---E
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    C#m
I'm ripped across the ditch
And settled in the dirt and I
Wear you like a stitch
            E
Yet I'm the one who's hurt
C#m
  Pay attention to your
twisted little indiscretions
 
I've got no right to win I'm
                  E
just caught up in all the battles
 
 
[Refrain 2]
C#m
  Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
 
[Interlude]
 
D--B--C#m--G#m-- x2

[Bridge]
 
   D
My end
   B            C#m
It justifies my means
G#m                D
All I ever do is delay
   B                 C#m
My every attempt to evade
    G#,                    D
The end of the road and my end
   D
My end
   B            C#m
It justifies my means
G#m                D
All I ever do is delay
   B                 C#m
My every attempt to evade
    G#m
The end of the road
 
 
(Repeat Chorus thrice)
 
 
[Outro]
 
C#m
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah Oh!

the people who doesn't appreciate or understand standard tuning are F***ING IDIOTS, I have a question for all of you, when you started learning how to play the guitar, standard tuning is always what you're using, standard is applicable in all songs duh!!! why you want to pressure yourself to a complex tuning when the song is playable in standard??

im getting sick of all these haters...i personally love your transcription. yes, its simple, and yes, im adding a fiddle here and there, but it works wonders in an acoustic environment, played on an acoustic guitar. you got 5 from me, although i would love to read your thoughts on a transcription of the initial riff..the one in the beginning and at the end.

This tab's pretty good in my opinion, I'm not really wanting it to sound exactly like Slipknot when I'm playing it, so this is pretty good. I'd give this 4 stars
