Apology
by Alesana
Drop E (7 string)
Tuning: { E | B | E | A | D | F# | B }
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.

Sweat drips in my eyes
C# D# Fm
Screams of lust we cry
C# D# Fm
Tonight, you are, everything
Fm C#
You're everything... You're everything to me
D# Fm
No more as I wake
D# C#
From this perfect dream...
D# Fm
I'll escape from Eden's walls
D# C#
Can I not stay and live this lie?
D# Fm
For I must think only of myself
C# D#
And to think that you will not be scared
Fm D# C#
Or surprised I severed all these ties
D# Fm
This is the end
Fm D# Cm
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight

Help me get over you

I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
