So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
Nightmare

Tabbed by: xxav3ng3d7xx

Tuning: Standard
Here's a new song off A7X's new album, Nightmare. One of my
favorite songs, and pretty easy to play. Listen to the song
for the strumming, very easy to figure out. Also, the timing
on the solos are a bit off with some notes, listen to the
solos to get a feel for the notes.
Note - the 2nd solo sounds the same when repeated, but there
are slight variations each time, pay attention to those.
[Em] Never feared for anything[Em]
Never shamed but never free[Em]
A [G]laugh that healed the [D]broken heart
With [Bm]all that it [C]could
[Em] Lived the life so endlessly[Em]
Saw beyond what others see[Em]
I [G]tried to heal your [D]broken heart
With [Bm]all that I [C]could
[C]Will you stay?
[D]Will you stay away forever?
[Em]How do i live without the [G]ones i love?
[Am]Time still turns the pages of the [Em]book it's burne[D]d
[Em]Place and time always [G]on my mind
I [Am]have so much to say but you're so [C]far away[D]
[Em] Plans of what our features hold[Em]
Foolish lies of growin' old[Em]
It [G]seems we're so invi[D]ncible, the [Bm]truth is so [C]cold
[Em] A final song, a last request[Em]
A perfect chapter laid to rest[Em]
[G]Now and then I [D]try to find a [Bm]place in my [C]mind
Where [C]you can stay
[D]You can stay awake forever
[Em]How do I live without the [G]ones i love?
[Am]Time still turns the pages of the [Em]book it's burne[D]d
[Em]Place and time always [G]on my mind
I [Am]have so much to say but you're so [C]far away[D]
[E]Sleep tight, I'm [C]not afraid
The [Am]ones that we love are he[Em]re with me
[E]Lay away a [C]place for me
'Cause as [D]soon as I'm done, I'll be on [C]my way
To [D]live eternally

Solo lyrics:
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough to despise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know...
