Tension by Avenged Sevenfold
Chords by @Syahrizal_SF


Intro : DmDm Bb majorBb 4x


Verse 1 :

     DmDm
I wake up every morning bright and early
     Bb majorBb
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
     DmDm
Tension is pulling me in all directions
     Bb majorBb
And these problems use me as a rope

     DmDm
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
     Bb majorBb
At any time I could explode
     DmDm
I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
     Bb majorBb
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

Chorus :

DmDm    FF         C majorC         G minorGm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb majorBb      FF       A augmentedA
We all need a moment in our life
DmDm        FF
Work's hard, the day's too long
  C majorC          G minorGm
And that's just where it begins
Bb majorBb     FF        A augmentedA
Tension has had us all this time

Verse 2 :

     DmDm
I sit in traffic every single morning
     Bb majorBb
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
     DmDm
Making the money, so I feed my family
     Bb majorBb
But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

     DmDm
I got no free days on my busy schedule
     Bb majorBb
I turn the page and it's the same
     DmDm
Don't like my situation, you don't either
     Bb majorBb
Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away

Chorus :
DmDm    FF         C majorC         G minorGm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb majorBb      FF       A augmentedA
We all need a moment in our life
DmDm        FF
Work's hard, the day's too long
  C majorC          G minorGm
And that's just where it begins
Bb majorBb     FF        A augmentedA
Tension has had us all this time

Interlude : DmDm Bb majorBb 2x

Bridge :

FF         C majorC
But every now and then
      G minorGm     Bb majorBb
I drive alone and over all
      FF             DmDm  C majorC Bb majorBb
Hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
    FF            C majorC      G minorGm
All alone, and I can't feel no pain, only strain
     Bb majorBb        FF           DmDm  C majorC Bb majorBb
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
     FF
Far from home

DmDm    FF         C majorC         G minorGm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb majorBb      FF       A augmentedA
We all need a moment in our life
DmDm        FF
Work's hard, the day's too long
  C majorC          G minorGm
And that's just where it begins
Bb majorBb     FF        A augmentedA
Tension has had us all this time
