Avenged Sevenfold

Intro: E5 F#5 B5 A5 G5 A5 E5 F#5 D5
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you�ve seen
so unsure but it seems, �cause we�ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you�ll be back here soon anyway
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
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places I just don�t belong
I�ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
(*)
I don�t belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
�Cause this time I�m right to move on and on, far away from here
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, �cause we�ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you�ll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth�s not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I�m much too young to fall)
So out of place don�t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that�s my sign
I�ve made up my mind
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
Got nothing against you and surely I�ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I�d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying �cause they�re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there�s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(Who are you?; I am unbroken; I�m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I�ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

Dm               F                  G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C              Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,

too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time

Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us,
C                Dm
changing this fable we live in
Gm             F               C
No longer needed here so where should we go?
