Evanescence - Understanding

Understanding (Sound Asleep Version) by Evanescence
Tabbed by: revan_psp (also known as ALF(s) on Evboard)

Hey, I haven't seen a COMPLETE version of this song tabbed yet. All the tabs that I've
seen only have the beginning part. This is, for the most part, correct, but I might have
missed a detail or two.

Verse 1:

Em D C
The pain that grips you, the fear that binds you

D
Releases life in me

Em D C
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes

D Em
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

D C
Please don't be afraid when the darkness fades away

D Em
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts

D C
My love for you still grows and this I do for you

D
Before I try to fight the truth my final time


Prechorus:

Em, D, C, D


Chorus:

C D Em D
Can't wash it all away, can't wish it all away

C D Em D
Can't cry it all away, can't scratch it all away


Verse 2:

Em D C
Lying beside you listening to you breathe

D Em
The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me

D C
Hold and speak to me of love without a sound

D Em
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you

D C
Cast me not away, say you'll be with me

D Em
For I know I cannot bear it all alone


Prechorus:

Em, D, C, D


Chorus:

C D Em D
Can't fight it all away, can't hope it all away

C D Em D
Can't scream it all away, it just won't fade away

Em, D, C, D (downward strokes) (I'm not too sure about the single noted part)

Em D C D
I tried so hard


Em, D, C, D
