Avenged Sevenfold – Mia (Guitar)

   Dm
   Staring at the carnage

   Bb                              C
   Praying that the sun will never rise

            Bb    A         Dm
   Living another day in disguise

         Bb                C
   These feelings can't be right

                Bb         A            Dm
   Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

   Bb   C       Bb A
   on tonight

   Dm Bb C Bb
   Ooooo....

   A            Dm
   Stand up and fight

Dm                                Bb C
   The fighting rages on and on

Dm                              C       Bb C
   To challenge me you must be strong

Dm                                     Bb C
   I walk your land but don't belong

Dm                                C      Bb C
   Two million soldiers can't be wrong

C Dm                                 C Dm
   It's no fun but I've been here before

                                           F
   I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war

    F             Bb               A             Bb
   (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)

C Dm                                     C Dm
   Some are scared, others killing for fun

                                   F
   I shot a mother in front of her son

    F                 Bb                A               Bb
   (Take this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)

   Dm               Bb
   Fight for honor, fight for your life

   C                F        A
   Pray to God that our side is right

       Gm              A         Bb
   And though we won I still may lose,

     C
   until I make it home to you

     Dm              Bb
   I see our mothers filled with tears

        C                 F         A
   Grew up so fast, where did those years go

   Gm             A       Bb    C
   Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight

C Dm                              C Dm
   So many soldiers on the other side

                                         F
   I take their lives so they can't take mine

    F                 Bb             A              Bb
   (Scared to make it out alive, now murder's all I know)

C Dm                                      C Dm
   Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here

                                           F
   I have my weapons so there's nothing to fear

      F           Bb             A               Bb
   (Another day another life but nothing real to show for)

   Dm               Bb
   Fight for honor, fight for your life

   C                F        A
   Pray to God that our side is right

       Gm              A         Bb
   And though we won I still may lose,

     C
   until I make it home to you

     Dm              Bb
   I see our mothers filled with tears

        C                 F         A
   Grew up so fast, where did those years go

   Gm             A       Bb    C
   Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight

   Dm
   Staring at the carnage

   Bb                              C
   Praying that the sun will never rise

            Bb    A         Dm
   Living another day in disguise

         Bb                C
   These feelings can't be right

                Bb         A            Dm
   Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

   Dm
   Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive

              Bb
   Stranger's blood on my hands, shot all I can

   Dm
   There are no silent nights watching your brothers all die

         Bb
   To destroy all their plans with no thought of me

   Dm    C             Bb    A
   No... thought... of me...

      Bb      C  Dm
   No thought of me

   Dm  Bb  C  F A  Gm  A Bb  C  C
   Ohhhhh.....

   Dm  Bb  C  F A  Gm  A Bb  C  C
   Ohhhhh.....

         Dm
   We'll walk the city lonely

   Bb                              C
   Memories that haunt are passing by

              Bb         A          Dm
   A murderer walks your streets tonight

      Bb             C
   Forgive me for my crimes

   Bb       A          Bb            Dm
   Don't forget that I was so young, fought so scared

          C#              C
   In the name of God and Country
