Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God

Intro:  F-C-Dm-Am-Bb-F-C   x2


F        C             Dm                 Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb                F            C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
F          C           Dm                 Am
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
     Bb                  F
Can't help but wish that I was there
     C
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah


F    C       Dm          C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
   Bb                      F
to hold her when I'm not around,
         C
when I'm much too far away
F        C         Dm           C
We all need that person who can be true to you
      Bb               F
But I left her when I found her
   C
And now I wish I'd stayed
           Bb             C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
     Am          Dm  C  Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
          F
Once again


F                C          Dm              Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
       Bb                         F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
     C
and all the shops are closed
F               C            Dm                 Am
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Bb                 F              C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah


F    C        Dm           C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    Bb                        F
to hold her when I'm not around,
         C
when I'm much too far away
F      C         Dm             C
We all need that person who can be true to you
  Bb               F
I left her when I found her
   C        
And now I wish I'd stayed
          Bb              C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
      Am         Dm   C  Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
         F
Once again


Dm     Am     Bb               F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm      Am  Bb             F
Before long, they waste away
Dm      Am  Bb                      F
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm    Am  Bb               F
I gave in, to selfish ways
Gm                         C
And how I miss someone to hold

when hope begins to fade...

of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

E5           G5           A5
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
E5          G5      A5
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
E5          G5               A5          B5       A5         G5

Avenged Sevenfold - Scream

Intro: E5

E5
Caught up in this madness too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
E5                 A5      E5
I'll taste your blood tonight

E5                              B5
You know I make you wanna scream
E5                                      B5
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
                                           C5
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time

E5
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
E5              A5          E5
Pleasure's all mine this time

if I ravaged your body

Em            C               G
  Weekends on young and angry streets
         D                   Em
We meet, drink 'till trouble found us there
C              G               D
Living life as without a care (Without a care)
Em              C                     G
  We've had our fights, been black and blue
           D                           Em
It's true, I've even gone to jail for you my friends
C                      G
Bet your life that I'd do it again.
D
(Until the End)
Em                       C
Don't change the way you think of me
               D     C
We're from the same story
Em                     C
Life moves on, can't stay the same
           D         C
But some of us, some worry

(Same as the first verse)
While some have gone their separate ways
There's some still caught up with the past instead
But move on, you're missing most of your life (life)
They say it's hard to stay the same
When some fail, while other men seem to gain, but friends
I'll be with you here until the end
(Until the End)

Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry

Em                D
We're all falling forward
     C           D
With no signs of slow
Em              D
And some moving faster
           C         D
But that's all that I wanted
Em
I wanted

Em
You know it's hard
D
It's passing by

Memories

Be out all night
Em                D
To reminisce wont bring you back

Just look ahead and hold on tight

Em                D
We're all falling forward
     C           D
With no signs of slow
Em              D
And some moving faster
           C         D
But that's all that I wanted
Em
I wanted
Em                       Bb            C
Don't change the way you think of me

"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
Am
"Try not to lose you."
            F            G
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Am
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
F        G
unmasked fear.

"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.


Am            F
Nothing hurts my world,
G                     Am
just affects the ones around me
Am                 F
When sin's deep in my blood,
G                    Am
you'll be the one to fall.


Am              F      G
"I wish I could be the one,
Am      F         G
the one who won't care at all
Am        F              G
But being the one on the stand,

When time soaked with blood turns its back,
Am F        G       Am
I know it's hard to fall.
Am          F           G
Confided in me was your heart
Am F        G       Am   F        G       Am
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."


Am                        F
Nothing will last in this life,

our time is spent constructing,
Am                               F        G
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Am                          F
Constrict your hands around me,
G                     Am
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
Am                          F
this air tastes dead inside me,
G                 Am
contribute to our plague.
Am
Break all your promises,
F
tear down this steadfast wall,
G
restraints are useless here,
Am
tasting salvation's near.

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

G                     C                             F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
C                    Dm
But I'm too young to worry
G                          C                           F
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

Dm                    A#                     F
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
C
I can move on with you around
Dm            A#               F          C
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
Dm     A#             F                   C
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
Dm               A#                 F                C
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

G                     C                            F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
C                    Dm
But I'm too young to worry
A#

Avenged Sevenfold [A7X] - I Won't See You Tonight

Gm    F
Cry alone, I've gone away
 Eflat  D
 No more nights, no more pain
Gm                                 F
I've gone alone, took all my strength
        Eflat
I've made the change,
    D
I won't see you tonight
 Gm         Eflat
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
 Bflat
all the ones around me,
    F
I cared for and loved
 Gm          F
Building up inside of me
     Eflat                              D
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
           Gm                                        F
Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame
      Eflat                                 D
As bottles called my name, I won't see you tonight
 Gm                          Eflat
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
 Bflat
all the ones around me,

     F                   F#   Gm
I cared for and most of all I loved
                   Eflat
but I can't see myself that way
      Bflat             F            F#
please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
Gm                            F
Cry alone, I've gone away
 Eflat                 D
No more nights, no more pain
Gm                                        F
I've gone alone, took all my strength
               Eflat
But I've made the change,
    D
I won't see you tonight
Gm Bflat F            D        Eflat           Bflat 
   Gm
So far away, I'm gone. Please don't follow me tonight.
                      Bflat-F D                         Gm
And while I'm gone, everything will be alright.
 Gm          F          Eflat-D
No more breath inside
 Gm         F          Eflat- D
Essence left my heart tonight
Gm          F          Eflat-D
No more breath inside
Gm         F          Eflat- D
Essence left my heart tonight

I've waited so long just to come hold you

I'm making it through

It's been far too long, we've proven our

Love over time’s so strong, in all that we do

The stars in the night, they lend me their light

to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
’Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
