Words and Music By Trent Reznor

Slow Tempo

5    6    5   -4  -3b   5
I  hurt  my  self  to - day
 3  4  -3b 4   -4   5 
To see if  I still feel
5   6    5    4   -3b   5
I  fo-cussed  on  the  pain
 3   4   -3b    -4     3     -3b
The  on - ly  thing  that's  real
 5    6   5    -4   4    5
The  needle  tears  a  hole
 3    4   -3b 4  -3b    5 
The  old  fa-mil-iar  sting
 5   5   6   5  -4 4  5    
Try to kill it all a-way
-3b 4 -3b 4  -3  -4   3    3 
But I re-mem-ber ev-'ry thing
  6     5   5   4   4
What  have  I  be-come
 4    -4   4     -4 
My  sweet-est  friend
 6   5  5  -4 4   4
Ev-'ry one~~~ I know
-3b  3  4  -4  3   -3 
Goes a-way in the end
 -4  -4   4    5    4  4
And you could have it all
-4 -4  -4  3  -4
My empire of dirt
-4  4    5   4    4    
I  will let you down
-4   4   -4   3  -3b     
I  will make you hurt


Next Verse (Pretty Much The Same Tune)

I wear this crown of thorns
U-pon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I can-not repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings dis-ap-pear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What  have  I  be-come
My  sweet-est  friend
Ev-'ry one I know
Goes a-way in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you dowm
I will make you hurt
If I could start a-gain
A million miles a-way
I would keep my-self
I would find a way

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
