This is an acoustic version of Sadist by Stone Sour. There are some passages where you will need to listen to
the song in order to get the rhythm, but that shouldn't be too hard. Also this is my first tab, so some things
might not be correct.
The power chords used in the Verses can be substituted for minor chords, depending on your voice, and if you
want to sing it heavier or softer.

[Verse]
          D#m                    B5
Withering eyes catch you as you fall

         D#m
A bitter sigh...

               B5
No one knows at all

           D#m
Let me in...

                     B5  
For one more long disgrace

        A#5
Just forget...

                      F#5
The same distractions you refuse to face



[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                 Dsus2
We both know that it's gone

    Csus2 
But what if no one knows...

Bsus2                              D#5      D#5 E5 F5  G#5
No one knows to remember why it's wrong?

E5              D#5    E5      D#5          D#5 E5 F5  G#5
This is all the pain a man can take

E5            D#5    E5    D#m    B   
This is how a broken heart still breaks



[Chorus]
B
I don't need much to show you

D#m
Only enough to control you

B
Bury your head inside this

D#m
And gather the darkness that binds it

G#m
I think I'll die if you deny me

D#m
Swallowed alive in eternity

G#m                     A#
Give me a way to be the agony

A#                D#m
That knew you all along



[Verse]
D#m                                B5
Push it down and hide me from this waste

           D#m
Don't hold back...

                 B5
I'd kill to take your place

          D#5
Tell me a lie...

                  B5
Tell me you don't care

        A#5
Just forget... A storm is coming

F#5
Just forget your skin



[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                 Dsus2
We both know how this ends

    Csus2 
But what if no one knows...

Bsus2                              D#5      D#5 E5 F5  G#5
No one knows how to kill us in the end?

E5              D#5      E5      D#5        D#5 E5 F5  G#5
This is all you need for who you are

E5            D#5      E5   D#5  B
This is how a good man goes too far...



[Chorus]
B
I don't need much to show you

D#m
Only enough to control you

B
Bury your head inside this

D#m
And gather the darkness that binds it

G#m
I think I'll die if you deny me

D#m
Swallowed alive in eternity

G#m                     A#
Give me a way to be the agony

A#                
That knew you all along
