Avenge Sevenfold - Dear God

* Standard Tuning *


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

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

And how I miss someone to hold


F
When hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
