Apology
by Alesana
Drop C (7 string)
Tuning: { C | G | C | F | A# | D | G }
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.
A B C#m
Sweat drips in my eyes
A B C#m
Screams of lust we cry
A B C#m
Tonight, you are, everything
C#m A
You're everything... You're everything to me
B C#m
No more as I wake
B A
From this perfect dream...
B C#m
I'll escape from Eden's walls
B A
Can I not stay and live this lie?
B C#m
For I must think only of myself
A B
And to think that you will not be scared
C#m B A
Or surprised I severed all these ties
B C#m
This is the end
C#m B G#m
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
G# A
Help me get over you
A C#m A
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
C#m A
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
C#m
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
A
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
B G# G#7
This is the end
C#m B
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
G# A
Help me get over you
C#m B
One last false apology
G# A
Help me get over you
N/D A B C#m
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
Esus2/A Esus2/B B C#m7 C#m
