      G#            Dm
I'll start with the radical leaders 
                  F#
Their steps we're following
Dm      G#       Dm
Running don't go back and 
     F# Dm         G#     Dm  F#
fight     too many you'll lose 
(And as clowns you follow 
suit behind the blood 
Between the red 
and white and blue 
But it's too deep 
for you to see 
And everyone eventually 
will take the step 
Cause it's in sight you take 
the left I'll take the right 
I feel the hate you've built for 
me and I say pay attention baby) 


Chorus 1:
Dm
As they thank the Lord

your mind with this shit
       Dm
You forget how to speak
                   F#
how to ask all the questions 
    Dm       G# Dm          F#
The business at hand tonight
Dm          G#  Dm    F#
make the people choose 
(I see another side in you but 
there's not much more I can do 
From on the outside looking
in your government is listening 
To push you on the story of 
immortal father mortal son 
Give them your mind and all your 
wealth the cycle will rebirth itself) 
        Dm
If they had it their
                G#
way I'd burn in hell

And your future's a fucking

to hide and having no place to
Dm       Bb          A        A/C#
Running away from condition I see 
               Dm       Bb
you but you're running away from

(Predict these things)
Dm
  Every color has its

F       D/F#               Gm
green I know this sounds obscene

I see you're living for tomorrow but

Blinded In Chains

"Bat Country" is a single by the American metal band Avenged Sevenfold from their 2005 album, City of Evil. The song's main influence comes from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the title itself also comes from a line from the book in which Raoul Duke, the alter-ego pseudonym of Thompson himself, is on his way to Las Vegas while being affected by various drugs, and thus hallucinates, seeing huge bats and manta rays in the sky.

"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
Am
"Try not to lose you."
            F            G
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Am
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
F        G
unmasked fear.
Am            F        G          Am
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.


Am            F
Nothing hurts my world,
G                     Am
just affects the ones around me
Am                 F
When sin's deep in my blood,
G                    Am
you'll be the one to fall.


Am              F      G
"I wish I could be the one,
Am      F         G
the one who won't care at all
Am        F              G
But being the one on the stand,
Am F       G                           F
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
Am                    F               G
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
Am F        G       Am
I know it's hard to fall.
Am          F           G
Confided in me was your heart
Am F        G       Am   F        G       Am
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."


Am                        F
Nothing will last in this life,
G                 Am    
our time is spent constructing,
Am                               F        G
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Am                          F
Constrict your hands around me,
G                     Am
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
Am                          F
this air tastes dead inside me,
G                 Am
contribute to our plague.
Am
Break all your promises,
F
tear down this steadfast wall,
G
restraints are useless here,
Am
tasting salvation's near.

C         D        Em
I give my heart to you.
C         D            G            Em             D        C   
I gave my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you.

Warmness On The Soul

Sounding The Seventh Trumpet

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

F    C       Dm          C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    B                      F
To hold her when I'm not around,
          C
When I'm much too far away
F        C         Dm           C
We all need that person who can be true to you
       B               F
But I left her when I found her
    C
And now I wish I'd stayed
            B             C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
                  Dm  C  B
I'm missing you again oh no
           F
Once again

F                C          Dm              Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
        B                         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
B                 F              C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

F    C        Dm           C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
     B                        F
To hold her when I'm not around,
          C
When I'm much too far away
F      C         Dm             C
We all need that person who can be true to you
   B               F
I left her when I found her
    C         
And now I wish I'd stayed
           B              C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
                 Dm   C  B
I'm missing you again oh no
          F
Once again

Dm           B               F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm        B             F
Before long, they waste away
Dm        B                       F
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm    B               F
I gave in, to selfish ways
Gm                         C
And how I miss someone to hold

When hope begins to fade...

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            C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    B                F
To hold her when I'm not around,
         C
When I'm much too far away
F      C        Dm             C
We all need the person who can be true to you
    B             F
I left her when I found her
    C
And now I wish I'd stayed
           B              C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
                  Dm  C  B
I'm missing you again oh no
           F
Once again

theres a few places you have to rest hope you can figure it out :)

Nightmare

[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

C
Will you stay
D
Will you stay away forever?


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Verse 4]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

C
Where you can stay?
D
You can stay awake forever!


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

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 2]
Em  D  Am  G  D  Em  D  C 

Em  D  Am  G  D  Em  D  C (2x)

Em  D  C


[Verse 5]

Em
I love you
D
You were ready
Am         G       D      Em   D   C
The pain stroke in dark spines
Em
But I see you
D
An it lets me
Am           G       D        Em    D    C
Your pain is gone on hands of time


[Outro]

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)

Em     D       G              C
     
Dark years brought endless rain

Am            D          Em      G

Out in the cold I lost my way

      Em         D                G                  C  
  
But storms won't last to clear the air, for something new

    Am              D              Em

The sun came out and brought you through


Am                      Em

A lifetime full of words to say

  D                            C

I hope that time will slow the passing day

        D              C     Em       G     Am        D          G

But if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow, walk with me, crimson day



Em     D        G          C

Don't speak, no use for words

 Am         D              G

Lie in my arms sleep secure

 Em                         D

I wonder what you're dreaming of

G        C

Lands rare and far

Am       D                   Em

A time must fly to reach the stars


 Am                      Em

A lifetime full of words to say

I hope that time will slow the passing day

I've come so far to meet you here

 D                 C                                  D

The world outside created just for you, is for you, for you... 


C             G              C                     G

Crimson Day

Hail to the King

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
