NOW I'M NOTHING/TERRIBLE LIE transcribed by John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com) as recorded on Nine Inch Nails' Bootleg, Solid Gold Hell If you don't have this bootleg, don't worry. Terrible Lie is pretty much the same in this live version as it is on the album except for the jam section and some lyric changes. I also transcribed the synth part in the chorus from Pretty Hate Machine to make it easier for you to hear. Everything else is from Solid Gold Hell, but like it said, it works out pretty much the same as on PHM, and it gives you a pretty good idea what do do with this song if you're preforming it live. Another point: a similar Terrible Lie can be found on the Coming Down Fast bootleg, except without Now I'm Nothing.
