Nightmare

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 Em
Never feared for anything
Em
Never shamed but never free
G D
A laugh that healed the broken heart
Bm C
With all that it could

Em Em
Lived 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

C
Will you stay?
D
Will you stay away forever?

Em G
How do i live without the ones i love?
Am Em D
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Em G
Place and time always on my mind
Am C D
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Em Em
Plans of what our features hold
Em
Foolish lies of growin' old
G D Bm C
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold
Em Em
A final song, a last request
Em
A perfect chapter laid to rest
G D Bm C
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

C
Where you can stay
D
You can stay awake forever

Em G
How do I live without the ones i love?
Am Em D
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Em G
Place and time always on my mind
Am C D
I have so much to say but you're so far away

E C
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
Am Em
The ones that we love are here with me
E C
Lay away a place for me
D C
'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way
D
To 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...
