Heavy Hangs The Albatross chords by Alesana

[Verse]
Bm                                  G
I've made up my mind and I will be leaving.
               A                                   F#m
Leaving this cruel, dark world for the soulless to share.
F#m
But first...
            Bm
Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed.
              G
Children will cry and watch their mothers die.
          A
Because tonight...
                     F#sus4
Tonight we all go to hell!
F#
Why?
Bm
I have to let go of what happened to my love.
G                                                     A
I am taking out on everyone else all the problems I've brought on myself.
When I made your heart melt.
 F#m
My belle, we soon will meet again.

[Pre-Chorus]
G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.
                                               F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.
G                             A
There's no one left to talk me down.
Bm
My feet are slipping...

[Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.
      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.
Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.
                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.
G              A             F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...

[Verse 2]
Bm                           G
Now the only question left is how to take you all down with me.
A
The coroner will have his hands full tonight.
F#m
That is if he is not among the dead.
Bm                                      G
Dead will choke the streets with such vulgarity that grown men will weep.
A                         F#m
And then you will find the end is drawing night.

[Pre-Chorus]
G                              A           Bm
There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.
                                               F#m
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.
G                             A
There's no one left to talk me down.
Bm
My feet are slipping...

[Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.
      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.
Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.
                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.
G              A             F#m
For better, or even for worse, remember me...

[Bridge]
G                       A
The dizziness stuns me, would someone please distract me?
Bm
Can I really get through this?
Bm
Can I really betray myself?
Bm
For better or worse, remember forever

G                       A
The dizziness stuns me, would someone please distract me?
(There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat.)
Bm
Can I really get through this?
(And as the blade bites my skin)
Bm
Can I really betray myself?
(Annabel appears...)
N.C.
For better or worse, remember me forever

[Chorus]
Bm           A                               G
One day I'll hope my name doesn't bring back memories.
      A          Bb
Of the day that I left her.
Bm         A
Goodbye, so long.
                 G              A       Bb
My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after.
G              A             F#m                  Bm
