Apology
by Alesana
Drop A (7 string)
Tuning: { A | E | A | D | G | B | E }
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.
F# G# A#m
Sweat drips in my eyes
F# G# A#m
Screams of lust we cry
F# G# A#m
Tonight, you are, everything
A#m F#
You're everything... You're everything to me
G# A#m
No more as I wake
G# F#
From this perfect dream...
G# A#m
I'll escape from Eden's walls
G# F#
Can I not stay and live this lie?
G# A#m
For I must think only of myself
F# G#
And to think that you will not be scared
A#m G# F#
Or surprised I severed all these ties
G# A#m
This is the end
A#m G# Fm
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
F F#
Help me get over you
F# A#m F#
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
A#m F#
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
A#m
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
F#
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
G# F F7
This is the end
A#m G#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
F F#
Help me get over you
A#m G#
One last false apology
F F#
Help me get over you
N/B F# G# A#m
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
C#sus2/F# C#sus2/G# G# A#m7 A#m
F# G# A#m (mute)
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
A#m A#m/C A#m/C# A#m/D#
F# F#/G# F#/C F#/A#
G# / G#/C G#/C# F
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
A#m G#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
F F#
Help me get over you
A#m G#
One last false apology
F F#
Help me get over you
A# G#
In my mind

Blood drips from your eyes
F# A#M
G# beautiful last goodbye
