Apology
by Alesana
Drop G (7 string)
Tuning: { G | D | G | C | F | A | D }
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.
E F# G#m
Sweat drips in my eyes
E F# G#m
Screams of lust we cry
E F# G#m
Tonight, you are, everything
G#m E
You're everything... You're everything to me
F# G#m
No more as I wake
F# E
From this perfect dream...
F# G#m
I'll escape from Eden's walls
F# E
Can I not stay and live this lie?
F# G#m
For I must think only of myself
E F#
And to think that you will not be scared
G#m F# E
Or surprised I severed all these ties
F# G#m
This is the end
G#m F# D#m
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D# E
Help me get over you
E G#m E
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
G#m E
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
G#m
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
E
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
F# D# D#7
This is the end
G#m F#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D# E
Help me get over you
G#m F#
One last false apology
D# E
Help me get over you
N/A E F# G#m
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
Bsus2/E Bsus2/F# F# G#m7 G#m
E F# G#m (mute)
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
G#m G#m/A# G#m/B G#m/C#
E E/F# E/A# E/G#
F# / F#/A# F#/B D#
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
G#m F#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D# E
Help me get over you
G#m F#
One last false apology
D# E
Help me get over you
G# F#
In my mind
D#m
Blood drips from your eyes
E G#M
F# beautiful last goodbye
