G6 Csus2
Then they came on me, dragged me from the bar,
G6
Still wet from sweat and beer.
Csus2 G6
I bruise so prettily by men blinded by their fear.
Csus2 G6 Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
These men Broke my back and made me lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
Lame-ame.
G6 Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2
Then she said to me, "I'd give you everything
G6 Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2
to make it like before, To make you love me like you
G6 Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
used to, make you love me more." She said to me
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Your life is large but your mind is lame
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G
Lame
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/everclear/lame_tab.html ]
(Two guitars are used now. One is distorted and plays major chords. The other (acoustic)
plays the suspended and sixth chords. The tab below shows the acoustic guitar's
chords. ie. so if the tab shows G6, that is what the acoustic guitar is playing.
The distorted guitar is playing G. So if the acoustic guitar is playing Csus2,
the distorted guitar plays C. etc.)
G6
I can't believe my eyes
G6 Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
I can't believe my eyes, When I see the truth
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
and all the things I've done. And every place I'm queer.
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
I never stay I run. I know now why I live in shame
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
Lame Yeah, I live in shame!
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Lame.
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
Lame-ame.
