Chords for Evanescence - Understanding - Lyrics

[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ You hold the answer deep within your [B] own mind.
I'll just say you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human [Db] mind works.
Whenever [Bbm] something is too unpleasant, too shameful [Ebm] for us to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our [Db] memory.
But the imprint is always there. _ _
[B] The _ _ _ _ _ _

[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ pain that comes [Db] from you,
_ the fear that binds [B] _ _ you, _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] releases the life [Ebm] in _ me.
We are [Abm] mutual.
_ _ [Db] _ Shame we are [B] cruel.
This _ blind man from [Db] the truth
finds [Bbm] a way for whom [Ebm] we love.
_ _ Please don't be [Db] afraid.
_ From the darkness they [B] play.
_ _ Dawn will break [Db] the silence.
_ [Bbm] Screaming _ [Ebm] over us.
_ My love for you [Abm] still grows.
_ [Db] This I do [B] for you.
_ For I fly [Db] to find the truth.
[Bbm] _ My [Ebm] final time.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ Break the mask, you idiot.
[Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] Leave me alone.
You're not [B] the only one.
You're not the only one.
You've washed it all [Db] away.
_ You've wished it all [Ebm] away.
You've _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ cried it all [Ebm] [Bbm] away.
_ You've [Ebm] scratched it all [Abm] away. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ Why is [Db] I do _ _ this to you?
[B] Through me.
The life I've sold [Db] inside of you
_ [Bbm] burns inside [Ebm] of me.
_ _ Hold it [Db] swiftly.
_ _ All the love I have [B] sold.
_ _ _ Tell me you [Db] will live through this
[Bbm] and I will die [Ebm] for you.
_ _ Cast me not [Gb] away.
_ [Db] _ Say you'll be [B] with me. _ _ _ _ _

[B] _ _ You've _ _ _ _
[Db] fought _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ it all [Db] away.
_ _ You've hoped it all [Ebm] away. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ You've screamed it all [Gb] away.
It just won't fade [Abm] away. _ _ _ _ _ _
