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 -------

^AbmStaring 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 I^Dbm ^Ealways had ^Gbhoped that you ^Abm ^DbmDid not ^Ewant it thi^Gbs way, ^Abm But no ^Dbmmatter how ^Ehard I ^Gbtry you always ^AbmPushed me a^Dbmway. ^Eb You said you loved me but...

Chorus ------

^AbmHow was ^GbI supposed to ^Eknow? (How was I supposed to know) When ^Abmyou left me here, ^GbYou left me here a^Elone? ^Dbm Do I ever ^Beven cross your ^Gbmind, ^AbmJust for second? ^Dbm Do you ^Bknow I'm a^Eblive?

Verse 2 -------

^AbmYou 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 ---------

^AbmIf you would've been ^Ethere, (If you would have ^Absus4been there) ^AbmIf you would've stuck ^Earound, (If you would have ^Absus4stuck around) ^AbmIf you would've been there when I needed you,

You would've been

^AbmYou would've been so proud!

(Chorus)
