Avenged Sevenfold - Seize The Day

Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over

(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Gm C F
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

Dm Gm F
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
C Dm
I can move on with you around
Gm F C
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
Dm Gm F C
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ’til our time is done
Dm Gm F C
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you

(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over

Dm Gm F
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?

Dm Gm F
Will you take a journey tonight,
C Dm
follow me past the walls of death?
Gm F C
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,
C Bbes
don’t wanna die alone without you there
C F
Please tell me what we have is real

Chorus : C Dm Bbes
F C Dm Bbes (2x)
F C Dm Bbes
So, what if I never hold you, or kiss you lips again?
F C Bes
I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see

I beg don’t leave me

Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,
C Bbes
don’t wanna die alone without you there
C Dm
Please tell me what we have is real

Chorus : Gm F A Bbes (2x)

Gm F A Bbes
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
Gm F A Bbes
I stand here alone
Gm F Gm Bbes
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece of Heaven

Intro : Dm, Fm 2x

Dm C#5
Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
Fm G#m
For me to take what’s mine, until the end of time?
Dm C#5
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
Fm G#m
And I will take what’s mine, create what

God would never design

Dm A
Our love had been so strong for far too long,
G#m
I was weak with fear that
Dm [followed by A small breakdown of G#5, G5, F5]
Something would go wrong,
Dm A
Before the possibilities came true,
G#m Dm [followed by A small breakdown of G#5,
F5]
I took all possibility from you

Dm F Fm G#m
Almost laughed myself to tears, (CRAZY LAUGHTER)
Dm F Fm Dm
Conjuring her deepest fears (COME HERE YA’ FUCKIN’ BITCH!!!)

Dm C#5 (F5 slide to G#5 3x)
Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,

I can’t believe it,
Dm C#5 (F5 slide to G#5 3x)
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
(guitar silent for eat it eat it eat it)
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

Dm
She was never this good in bed

Even when she was sleepin’

A
Now she’s just so perfect I’ve

Never been quite so fucking deep in

(here the strings of the orchestra do a walk down of sorts – I simplified it for
cuz it’s really hard to sing to if you play the real riff)

One Bar of Dm, Bb before singing continues

Dm Bb
It goes on, and on, and on,
Dm Bb
I can keep you lookin’ young and preserved forever,
Dm Bb
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

(the string walk down section which I simplified is now over)

Gm C
‘Cause I really always knew that my little crime
F Dm
Would be cold that’s why I got a heater for your thighs
Bb C F
And I know, I know it’s not your time
Dm
But bye, bye
Bb C
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
A Dm, C, Bb
You think it’s over but it’s just begun
C
But baby don’t cry

Bb C
You had my heart, at least for the most part
F C Dm C Bb
‘Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime, we fell apart
C
Let’s make a new start
F C Dm C Bb
‘Cause everybody’s gotta die sometime yea-yeah
C
But baby don’t cry-ay-ay-ay-ay

(Repeat all relevant parts until the end of the second chorus)

Interlude:

Dm, A, Fm, Fm 2x
NOW BE CAREFUL HERE – sometimes the chord changes on the male voice, and sometimes on
female voice – pay close attention

Dm Bb Gm F
I will suffer for so long

(What will you do, not long enough)
Gm
To make it up to you
F
(I pray to God that you do)
Gm
I’ll do whatever you want me to do
A Dm
(Well then I’ll grant you one chance)
Bb Gm
And if it’s not enough
F
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
Gm
If it’s not enough

(Not enough)
F
Try again

(Try again)
Gm
And again

(And again)
A
Over and over again

Dm
We’re coming back, coming back

We’ll live forever, live forever
Fm
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding

Let’s start the killing, start the killing

Dm, Fm 2x and then A

And afterward (during the oooooohh-ing):

D5, C#5, Bb5, A5, E5 2x

Intro: Dm C Gm Bb – C (x2)

D5 C5 – Bb5 – C5 – D5 (Bb5-A5-)
D5 C5 – Bb5 – C5 – D5

(G5-A5)-D5
I feel insane
Every single time I’m asked to compromise
(G5-A5)-D5
‘Cause I’m afraid and stuck in my ways
(G5-A5)-D5
And that’s the way it stays
So how long did I expect love
(G5-A5)-D5
to outweigh ignorance
By the look on your face
(G5-A5)-D5
I may have forced the scale to tip

Chorus 1:
D5 - C5
I’m not insane
Bb5 C5 - C#5
I'm not insane

I’m not… not insane

F
(Mother)
Come back to me it’s almost easy
Dm
(Said it all)
(G5-A5)-D5
Come back again it’s almost easy
D5
Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I’ve done to you
(G5 -A5)-D5
It’s hard to face
(G5-A5)-D5
But the fact remains that this is nothing new
(G5-A5)-D5
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
(G5-A5)-D5
But deep inside I’m not insane


Chorus 2:
D5 - C5
I’m not insane
Bb5 C5 – C#5
I’m not insane…

Come back to me it’s almost easy
Dm
(Said it all)
Come back again it’s almost easy

Come back to me it’s almost easy

Come back again it’s almost easy

Now that I’ve lost you it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
C A Bb
I’ve tried to hold on as you’ve slowly slipped away
F
I’m losing the fight
C A Bb
I’ve treated you so wrong now let me make it right
(Make it all right)

Chorus 3:

Intro: F-C-Dm-Am-B-F-C x2

F C Dm Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
B 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
B F
Can’t help but wish that I was there
C
Back where I’d love to be, oh yeah

Some search, never finding a way
Dm * B F

And how I miss someone to hold

when hope begins to fade…
