Song: The Abandoned Artist: Memphis May Fire Album: The Hollow Transcribed by Colton Wood Ok, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I'm insane to even try to do the chords to a screamo song. It's crazy, but just crazy enough. I'm just providing the proper chords just encase somebody wanted to get really creative with this song and make an acoustic version without any screaming at all! - Tuning for this arrangement: 1/2 Step down (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb) Verse 1 ------- Abm Staring at the wall, I never thought this would be so hard. How could have I been so close and never known you? I never knew, I never knew you at all! You will always be my father but I hope you know, It's your fault and I'll never know what that means. You left a void that never could be replaced. I am dying inside but you will never see! Pre Chorus ---------- Abm C#m E F# I always had hoped that you Abm C#m E F# Did not want it this way, Abm C#m E F# But no matter how hard I try you always Abm C#m Pushed me away. Eb You said you loved me but... Chorus ------ Abm F# E How was I supposed to know? (How was I supposed to know) Abm When you left me here, F# E You left me here alone? C#m B F# Do I ever even cross your mind, Abm Just for second? C#m B Eb Do you know I'm alive? Verse 2 ------- Abm You know I would let you in but you threw everything away. So tell me what did you get from all of these years of pain? You have no clue what I've been through, But I guess that you wanted it that way! (Chorus) Breakdown --------- Abm E Absus4 If you would've been there, (If you would have been there) Abm E Absus4 If you would've stuck around, (If you would have stuck around) Abm If you would've been there when I needed you, You would've been Abm You would've been so proud! (Chorus)
