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

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

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
