So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold

Great song, one of their best. 

Play it in standard (EADGBE) or Drop D (DADGBE). Which ever sounds better to you.



Em
Never been for anything
Em
Never chained but never free
  G                D
I lied to heal the broken love
     Bm          C    
With all that it could

Em
Live the life so endlessly
Em
Saw beyond what others see
  G                  D
I tried to heal your broken heart
     Bm         C
With all that I could

C
Will you stay
D
Will you stay away forever?

Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em         D  
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
Em                  G
Facing times always on my mind
  Am                                C    D 
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Em
Means a war of futures hold
Em
Foolish lies of grown and old
    G              D
And seems we're so invincible
    Bm          C
The truth is so cold

Em
A final song, a last request
Em
A perfect chapter laid to rest
G              D
Now and then I try to find
    Bm          C
The place in my mind

C
Where you can stay?
D
You can stay awake forever!

Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em         D
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
Em                  G
Facing times always on my mind
  Am                                C     D
I have so much to say but you're so far away

E
Sleep tight
     C
I'm not on pray
    Am                    Em
The ones that we love are here with me
E
Lay away
  C
A place for me
          D
'Cause as soon as I'm done
           C
I'll be on my way
    D
To live eternally

(solo) E  C  Am  Em
       E  C  D  C  D

Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em         D
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
Em                  G
Facing times always on my mind
        Am
And the light you let remains
          C         D
But it so hard to stay
      Am                                C     D    Em
And I have so much to say and you're so far away

(solo- 3:30 2x) Em  D  Am  G  D/F#  Em  D  C 

(solo) Em  D  Am  G  D/F#  Em  D  C (2x)
       Em  D  C

Em
I love you
D
You were ready
Am         G       D/F#   Em   D   C
The pain stroke in dark spines
Em
But I see you
D
An it lets me
Am           G       D/F#     Em    D    C
Your pain is gone on hands of time

Em D     C   Em         D             C
So far away      (And I need you to know)
Em D     C   Em         D                    C
So far away      (And I need you to need you to know)

Avenged Sevenfold rocks!
