Apology
by Alesana
Drop D (7 string)
Tuning: { D | A | D | G | C | E | 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.
B C# D#m
Sweat drips in my eyes
B C# D#m
Screams of lust we cry
B C# D#m
Tonight, you are, everything
D#m B
You're everything... You're everything to me
C# D#m
No more as I wake
C# B
From this perfect dream...
C# D#m
I'll escape from Eden's walls
C# B
Can I not stay and live this lie?
C# D#m
For I must think only of myself
B C#
And to think that you will not be scared
D#m C# B
Or surprised I severed all these ties
C# D#m
This is the end
D#m C# A#m
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
A# B
Help me get over you
B D#m B
I feel so numb to see this bitter end...
D#m B
(It has come to this...) End of beautiful illusions
D#m
(Broken pieces) Will not mend
B
(...One last kiss) To save our past now
C# A# A#7
This is the end
D#m C#
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
A# B
Help me get over you
D#m C#
One last false apology
A# B
Help me get over you
N/E B C# D#m
Now we must let go
Rallentando, then allegro
F#sus2/B F#sus2/C# C# D#m7 D#m
B C# D#m (mute)
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
D#m D#m/F D#m/F# D#m/G#
B B/C# B/F B/D#
C# / C#/F C#/F# A#
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
A# B
Help me get over you
D#m C#
One last false apology
A# B
Help me get over you

In my mind
A#m
Blood drips from your eyes
B D#M
C# beautiful last goodbye
