Slipknot: Before I Forget

Intro: C#m E 

Go! 

1. C#m 
Stapled shut Inside an

outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight
Bizarre but E 
right at home


C#m 
Claustrophobic

Closing in and I'm
Catastrophic E 
Not again


I’m C#m 
smeared across the page

And doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain Yet
I'm the E 
one who's obscene


C#m 
Catch me up on all your sordid

little indiscretions
I've got no time to lose I'm just
E 
caught up in all the cattle


C#m 
Frey the strings…

Throw the shapes…
Hold your breath…
Listen!
R: [: C#m 
I am a 
E 
world before I am a man

C#m 
I was a 
E 
creature before I could stand

C#m 
I will re
E 
member before I for
F#m 
get

A 
Before I forget that! :]


C#m E 

2. I'm ripped across the ditch
And settled in the dirt and I
Wear you like a stitch
Yet I'm the one who's hurt

Pay attention to your
twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win I'm
just caught up in all the battles

C#m 
Locked in clutch

Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!

R: I am a world before I am a man…

C#m

G#m 
All I ever do is de

The G#m 
end of the road and my

end :]


R: I am a world before I am a man…
