Apology (ver2) Tab - Alesana






Alright, I sat down and listened to this song for about an hour straight, I figured out
of the rythm and most leads. This tab can be played in standard or drop-D, I use drop-D
it seems easier and most other Alesana songs are in that tuning anyway. This is my first 
so here it goes...

Intro: Guitar 1 (Clean)
|-------5---|
|7--5-------|

Lyrics:

Sweat drips in my eyes...Screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything to me...You're everything...

You're everything to me, no more as I wake, from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Edens walls, I can not stay and live this lie
For I must think only of myself

And to think that you would not be scared, or surprised if I had severed All these ties,
This is the end...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight, help me get over you...

I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now
It has come to this one last kiss

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight, help me get over you
One last false apology, help me get over you

Now we must let go...Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears...
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight, help me get over you
One last false apology, help me get over you

In my mind, blood drips from your eyes
A beautiful, last goodbye...
