Apology
by Alesana
Drop B (7 string)
Tuning: { B | F# | B | Fb | A | 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# Cm
Sweat drips in my eyes
G# A# Cm
Screams of lust we cry
G# A# Cm
Tonight, you are, everything
Cm G#
You're everything... You're everything to me
A# Cm
No more as I wake
A# G#
From this perfect dream...
A# Cm
I'll escape from Eden's walls
A# G#
Can I not stay and live this lie?
A# Cm
For I must think only of myself
G# A#
And to think that you will not be scared
Cm A# G#
Or surprised I severed all these ties
A# Cm
This is the end
Cm A# Gm
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
G G#
Help me get over you
G# Cm G#
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
Cm G#
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
Cm
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
G#
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
A# G G7
This is the end
Cm A#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
G G#
Help me get over you
Cm A#
One last false apology

Help me get over you
N/C# G# A# Cm
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro

Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
