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

Chorus 1:

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
    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

Am7         Dm         C  Bb
Missing you again  oh  no
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
Pictures and some memories

      C
Will have to help me through, oh yeah

Back to: Chorus 1

Dm   –    A/C# – Bb        –         F
   Before long,         they waste away

Dm    –   A/C# – Bb               –              F
   I found you,         something told me to stay

Dm   –   A/C# – Bb      –       F
   I gave in,             to selfish ways

Gm                                       C
   And how I miss someone to hold

                                F
When hope begins to fade...

F      –      C         –          Dm          –  Am
   A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Bb          –         F       –       C
