first of all. they are in drop B tuning, which is rather interesting. i assume
that they’re actually in drop C# and are using a guitar effect to lower the pitch
by two half steps.
the tuning is as follows, low to high: B, Gb(F#), B, E, Ab(G#), Db(C#)
you’ll be fine if you play in drop D (D,A,D,G,B,E). you just won’t be able to
play along w/ the CD.
i won’t write how many times to play each chord. just listen to the song.
it’s nothing too difficult. if you have a questions just e-mail me, i’d be glad
to you help you out. sorry this is all messy. this is the first tab i’ve even
posted so i’m still learning how to write this all out. i think it’s right on tho.
enjoy!

this riff is for the bridge. there’s a few parts though where it’s different.
you’ll hear them bending a string. as far as i can tell, just gradually bend your
lowest string on the 2nd fret

I like having hurt
So send the pain below where I need it

You used to beg me to take care of things
And smile at the thought of me failing

But long before having hurt
I’d send the pain below
I’d send the pain below
CHORUS

much like suffocating
much like suffocating
much like suffocating (I’d send the pain below)
much like suffocating (I’d send the pain below)
VERSE 2

You used run me away
All while laughing
Then cry about that fact
Til i returned

But long before having hurt
I’d send the pain below
I’d send the pain below
CHORUS
riff1 x4
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I’ll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I’ll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating

Drop down! (RAHHHHHH!!!.)
