Chords for Evanescence - Understanding Lyrics (Evanescence EP)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
You hold the answer [B] deep within your own mind.
Consciously, you've forgotten it.
That's [Db] the way the human mind works.
[Bbm] Whenever something is too unpleasant, [Ebm] too shameful for us to entertain, we reject it.
We [Db] erase it from our memory.
But the imprint is always there.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _
The pain that [Ab] I hold to, [Db] the fear that [B] binds me,
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Bbm] releases [Ebm] like a leaf, things [Ab] unusual.
_ [Db] Shame we [B] are used to, blind and [Db] far-retrued,
[Bbm] finds a way for [Ebm] who we are.
Please don't [Ab] be afraid, when the darkness [B] fades away,
and dawn will [Db] break silent, [Bbm] screaming [Ebm] your heart.
My love for [Ab] you never will [Db] be this [B] idyllic. _
For I've [Db] tried to fight through [Bbm] my [Ebm] finest hours.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Break the box, [Db] you're too real.
You feel alone, [B] you're not together, and that is real.
Can't wash it [Db] all away.
Can't twist it [Ebm] all away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Can't cry it [Bbm] all away.
Can't scratch it [Ebm] all away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Lying [Db] beside you, listening [B] to you breathe.
Life that [Db] flows inside of you, [Bbm] burns [Ebm] inside of me.
Hold and [Ab] speak to me.
Hold [Db] your love while you're [B] out of self.
Tell me [Db] you will live through [Bbm] this and I will [Ebm] die for you. _
Cast me [Db] not away.
Say you'll [B] be with me.
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [B] _
You're not alone with me.
Love me.
[Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _
Can't fight it [Db] all away.
Can't hope it [Ebm] all away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Can't scream it [Bbm] all away.
It just won't [Abm] fade away.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _
[B] Listen _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ebm] all _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ the [B] way.
Can't scream it [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ all [B] away. _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] The imprint is always there.
[Db] Nothing is ever really forgotten.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Db] Because sometimes we do.
