Apology
by Alesana
Drop D# (7 string)
Tuning: { D# | A# | D# | Ab | C# | F | A# }
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.
C D Em
Sweat drips in my eyes
C D Em
Screams of lust we cry
C D Em
Tonight, you are, everything
Em C
You're everything... You're everything to me
D Em
No more as I wake
D C
From this perfect dream...
D Em
I'll escape from Eden's walls
D C
Can I not stay and live this lie?
D Em
For I must think only of myself
C D
And to think that you will not be scared
Em D C
Or surprised I severed all these ties
D Em
This is the end
Em D Bm
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
B C
Help me get over you
C Em C
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
Em C
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions

(Broken pieces) Will not mend
C
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
D B B7
This is the end
Em D
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight

Help me get over you

Help me get over you
N/F C D Em
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
