Apology
by Alesana
Drop F# (7 string)
Tuning: { F# | C# | F# | Cb | E | G# | C# }
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.
D# F Gm
Sweat drips in my eyes
D# F Gm
Screams of lust we cry
D# F Gm
Tonight, you are, everything
Gm D#
You're everything... You're everything to me
F Gm
No more as I wake
F D#
From this perfect dream...
F Gm
I'll escape from Eden's walls
F D#
Can I not stay and live this lie?
F Gm
For I must think only of myself
D# F
And to think that you will not be scared
Gm F D#
Or surprised I severed all these ties
F Gm
This is the end
Gm F Dm
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D D#
Help me get over you
D# Gm D#
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
Gm D#
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
Gm
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
D#
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
F D D7
This is the end
Gm F
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D D#
Help me get over you
Gm F
One last false apology
D D#
Help me get over you
N/G# D# F Gm
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
A#sus2/D# A#sus2/F F Gm7 Gm
D# F Gm (mute)
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
Gm Gm/A Gm/A# Gm/C
D# D#/F D#/A D#/G
F / F/A F/A# D
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
Gm F
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
D D#
Help me get over you
Gm F
One last false apology
D D#
Help me get over you
G F
In my mind
Dm
Blood drips from your eyes

F beautiful last goodbye
