Apology
by Alesana
Drop F (7 string)
Tuning: { F | C | F | A# | D# | 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 E F#m
Sweat drips in my eyes
D E F#m
Screams of lust we cry
D E F#m
Tonight, you are, everything
F#m D
You're everything... You're everything to me
E F#m
No more as I wake
E D
From this perfect dream...
E F#m
I'll escape from Eden's walls
E D
Can I not stay and live this lie?
E F#m
For I must think only of myself
D E
And to think that you will not be scared
F#m E D
Or surprised I severed all these ties
E F#m
This is the end
F#m E C#m
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
C# D
Help me get over you
D F#m D
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
F#m D
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
F#m
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
D
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
E C# C#7
This is the end
F#m E
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
C# D
Help me get over you
F#m E
One last false apology
C# D
Help me get over you
N/G D E F#m
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
Asus2/D Asus2/E E F#m7 F#m
D E F#m (mute)
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
F#m F#m/G# F#m/A F#m/B
D D/E D/G# D/F#
E / E/G# E/A C#
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
F#m E
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
C# D
Help me get over you
F#m E
One last false apology
C# D
Help me get over you
F# E
In my mind
C#m
Blood drips from your eyes
D F#M
E beautiful last goodbye
