Tension Tab par Avenged Sevenfold

Intro : Dm Bb 4x



Verse 1 :


          Dm

I wake up every morning bright and early
          Bb

Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
          Dm

Tension is pulling me in all directions
          Bb

And these problems use me as a rope

          Dm

Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
          Bb

At any time I could explode
          Dm

I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
          Bb

Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

Chorus :


Dm       F                  C                 Gm

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb            F             A

We all need a moment in our life
Dm               F

Work's hard, the day's too long
    C                    Gm

And that's just where it begins
Bb          F               A

Tension has had us all this time

Verse 2 :

          Dm

I sit in traffic every single morning
          Bb

Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
          Dm

Making the money, so I feed my family
          Bb

But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

          Dm

I got no free days on my busy schedule
          Bb

I turn the page and it's the same
          Dm

Don't like my situation, you don't either
          Bb

Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away

Chorus :

Dm       F                  C                 Gm

I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb            F             A

We all need a moment in our life
Dm               F

Work's hard, the day's too long
    C                    Gm

And that's just where it begins
Bb          F               A

Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then

I drive alone and over all
           F                         Dm    C Bb

Hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
        F                        C            Gm

All alone, and I can't feel no pain, only strain
          Bb                F                      Dm    C Bb

Enjoy the sights, I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
