DEAR GOD

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
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Chorus 2:

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
         Dm – A/C# – Bb – F
Once again…                  yeah…
Dm  –  A/C# – Bb    –    F
  Wooaa…         yeah, yeah…

Ending: Dm – A/C# – Bb – F (x17) – FO (Fade Out)
