Angels Avenged Sevenfold
VERSE
[Em]Took me [C]years t[F#m]o make my[B7] motives clear
[Em]And the [C]days ha[F#m]ve not be[B7]en kind
[Em]Once a s[C]teady g[F#m]aze and c[B7]harming smile
[Em]Has been[C] buried[F#m] in the l[B7]ines I find
[Em]I walk i[C]n the n[F#m]oise, qui[B7]et employs
[Em]And dark[C]ness se[F#m]ems to kn[B7]ow just where I am
CHORUS
[C]Mother w[Am]ash the[E] devil fr[E]om my hands
[C]Pray the[Am] Lord I[E] have the[E] strength to stand
[C]Mother, [Am]tell me[E] was it a[E]ll a lie?
[C]Show me [Am]where the angels die
VERSE
[Em]There ar[C]e words[F#m] that nev[B7]er found my lips
[Em]There ar[C]e words[F#m] I'd soon[B7] forget
[Em]Thought [C]the tri[F#m]ck was ne[B7]ver to look back
[Em]But it s[C]eems I'[F#m]ve lost m[B7]y grip, I slip
[Em]The fast[C]er we r[F#m]un now, t[B7]he closer the gun now
[Em]And some[C]how all[F#m] the bull[B7]ets bear my name
CHORUS
[C]Mother w[Am]ash the[E] devil fr[E]om my hands
[C]Pray the[Am] Lord I[E] have the[E] strength to stand
[C]Mother, [Am]tell me[E] was it a[E]ll a lie?
[C]Show me [Am]where t[E]he angels[E] die

VERSE
[Em]Took the[C] road b[F#m]ut should[B7] have chased the stars
[Em]Now I've[C] lost m[F#m]y own way[B7] home
[Em]Had a ph[C]oto of [F#m]the time [B7]we shared
[Em]But I bu[C]rned it[F#m] long ago[B7], I know
[Em]I struck[C] the ma[F#m]tches stu[B7]ck in the ashes
[Em]Forgive [C]me, won[F#m]'t you si[B7]mply speak my name
CHORUS
[C]Mother w[Am]ash the[E] devil fr[E]om my hands
[C]Pray the[Am] Lord I[E] have the[E] strength to stand
[C]Mother, [Am]tell me[E] was it a[E]ll a lie?
[C]Show me [Am]where t[E]he angels[E] die
