Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive

Am C
Take the time just to listen
F E
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Am C
Take a look in the distance
F E
Try and see it all

Am C
Chances are that you might find
F E
That we share a common discomfort now
Am C
I feel I'm walking a fine line
F E
Tell me only if it's real

Dm C G
Still I'm on my way
G
(On and on it goes)
Dm C G E
Vacant hope to take

Am
Hey!
E F E F G
I can't live in here for another day
Am E F E
Darkness has kept the light concealed
F E G F
Grim as ever
Am E F E F G
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Am E F E
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
E
Real as ever
E Am
And it seems I've been buried alive!

C F E

Am C
I walk the fields through the fire

F E Am
Taking steps until I found solid ground
C
Followed dreams, reaching higher
F E
Couldn't survive the fall

Am C
Much has changed since the last time
F E Am
And I feel a little less certain now
C
You know I jumped at the first sign
F E
Tell me only if it's real


Dm C G
Memories seem to fade
G
(On and on it goes)
Dm C G E
Wash my view away


Am
Hey!
E F E F G
I can't live in here for another day
Am E F E
Darkness has kept the light concealed
F E G F
Grim as ever
Am E F E F G
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Am E F E
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
F E G F E
Real as ever
F E G F
And I'm chained like a slave
E
Trapped in the dark
E
Slammed all the locks
E
Death calls my name
F E G F
And it seems I've been buried alive!

For you to pay the toll

A price for you alone

A tape full of messages for anyone who cares

Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears,

Remembering your life, 'cause we wish that you were here

Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone,

Scars are left behind, but some too deep to feel

And some say this can't be real,

We're all just victims of a crime

When all's gone and can't be regained,

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside

We're all just victims of a crime

Avenged Sevenfold - Almost Easy

Intro: Em, D, Am, C, D2

Verse: Em, C, G, D

Em     C                    G                      D
I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise

Em             C                             G                     
Cause I'm afraid, I`m stuck in my ways

D
And that`s the way it stays


Prechorus: Em, D2, C, D2

Em                      D2             C                           D2
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance

Em                      D2             C                           D2
By that look on your face I may force the scale to tip

Em       D2        
I'm not insane, I'm not insane

C                         D2
I'm not insane, I`m not...

D2
Not insane


Chorus: G, Em7

(I'm not)

G
Come back to me, it's almost easy

(Sad at all)

Em7
Come back again, it's almost easy


Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I`ve done to you
It`s hard to face, but the fact remains that
This is nothing new

I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane.

I'm not insane, I'm not insane.
I'm not insane, I'm not...
Not insane.

(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Sad at all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy



Bridge: Em, G, D, Bm, C, G, Bm, B, C

Em                    G                D
Now that I`ve lost you it kills me to say

(Hurts to say)

Bm                                      C               
I try to hold on as you slowly slip away.

G
I`m losing the fight.

Bm                                   B                                 C
Treated you so wrong, now let me make it right.
(Make it all right)



I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not...
Not insane.

(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Sad at all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But still you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy Confessions

"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.
Am            F        G          Am
"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,
Am F       G                           F
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
Am                    F               G
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,
G                 Am   
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.

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
       F              A#
It's empty and cold without you here,
         C               Dm
Too many people to ache over
Dm              G              F
Newborn life replacing all of us,
               C            Dm
Changing this fable we live in
            G              F         C
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Dm         G                 F
Will you take a journey tonight,
          C                   Dm               
Follow me past the walls of death?
         G                 F            C
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
G                 C
I see my vision burn,
                             F
I feel my memories fade with time
C                     Dm
But I'm too young to worry

A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Too many people to ache over
Dm              F                 G        
Trials in life, questions of us existing here,
              F            A#
Don't want to die alone without you here
               C                 Dm
Please tell me what we have is real

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife

     Dm                                          Fm
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
Dm                                        Fm
So unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you

Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right

Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
  A
Arrived too early


Dm         F                 Bb
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
Dm            F                  Bb              C          F
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Dm                                                  Fm
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you

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

Dm                         C
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
Dm                  C
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
Dm                           C                     Bb
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
    A
I've made up my mind


Dm           F                Bb
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
