Apology
by Alesana
Drop A# (7 string)
Tuning: { A# | F | A# | Eb | G# | C | F }
P.S.
I've tried to line up the chords with the screaming in the pre-chorus, but it's tricky.
I can barely make out what they're saying.
I don't know the names of the sections. It's like the song has three choruses
and a verse which only happens once. Weird.
Anyway, it's all basic chords, but the structuring and rhythm
is what's important to getting this right.
G A Bm
Sweat drips in my eyes
G A Bm
Screams of lust we cry
G A Bm
Tonight, you are, everything
Bm G
You're everything... You're everything to me
A Bm
No more as I wake
A G
From this perfect dream...
A Bm
I'll escape from Eden's walls
A G
Can I not stay and live this lie?
A Bm
For I must think only of myself
G A
And to think that you will not be scared
Bm A G
Or surprised I severed all these ties
A Bm
This is the end
Bm A F#m
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
F# G
Help me get over you
G Bm G
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
Bm G
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
Bm
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
G
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
A F# F#7
This is the end
Bm A
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
F# G
Help me get over you

One last false apology
F# G
Help me get over you
N/C G A Bm
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
Dsus2/G Dsus2/A A Bm7 Bm

Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
Bm Bm/C# Bm/D Bm/E

I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

Help me get over you

In my mind

Blood drips from your eyes

A beautiful last goodbye
