Stone Sour
Bother (acoustic)

tabbed by igor mazic (igormazic@yahoo.com)

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]

-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

[play the intro again]

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
