Bother (acoustic)
tabbed by igor mazic ([email protected])
I’ve seen a couple of tabs for this song and they all seem pretty
correct, however i wanted to play it without having to de-tune all
the time so i came up with this version.
Cappo on the 6th fret, standard tuning
chords:
Am [xx122x]
D? [xx000x]
G6 [320xxx]
E [0122xx]
Am7 [xx102x]
Fmaj7 [x0321x]
-Intro- [play 4X]

-Verse-
Am D? Am D?
Wish I was too dead to cry
G6 Am
My self-affliction fades
Am D? Am D?
Stones to throw at my creator
G6 Am7 D?
Masochists to which I cater
-Chorus-
Am D?
You don’t need to bother;
Am E
I don’t need to be
Am D?
I’ll keep slipping farther
Fmaj7
But once I hold on,
D? Am
I won’t let go ’til it bleeds
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
-Bridge-
Am
I wish I had a reason;
E
my flaws are open season
G6
For this, I gave up trying
Am7 D?
One good turn deserves my dying
You don’t need to bother;
I don’t need to be
I’ll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won’t let go ’til it bleeds
Wish I’d died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries
And you don’t need to bother;
I don’t need to be
I’ll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won’t let go ’til it bleeds
You don’t need to bother;
I don’t need to be
I’ll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I’ll never live down my deceit
