Chords for Evanescence & Within Temptation (Amy Lee & Sharon den Adel) - Backstage Interview

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] I think especially when you do a new tour, you have new songs and that's the coolest thing I think.
The interaction that you get with the audience, but also _ the whole group experience for me is very important.
With the band as a crew, _ it's just like bonding and just doing it all together is one big experience.
It's cool.
_ Exciting, I'd say [Ab] anything new.
So anytime there's anything new, put a new song on the set, do a cover for the first [Dbm] time.
That's when my heart beats fast if I'm about to do something that I've never done before.
Partially because I'm just afraid I'm going to mess up, but also it's like, what are they going to do?
Are they going to like this or not?
But I also like going to other countries, just visiting places you've never been to before is [Gb] always a big thing to [E] look forward to on tour. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I have a Care Bears pillowcase so that I [Dbm] don't accidentally leave it in the hotel.
_ _ I can have the most [E] uncomfortable _ sleeping situation ever, but if I [Dbm] have the pillow, I can sleep.
So I do always bring my pillow.
_ [Ab] I have just more like certain kind of things like I [N] bring my ginger roots always with me.
For sure, I use that too.
Yeah, so I don't have a pillow or anything.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Smashing _ pumpkins in [Bb] garbage.
_ Bruce Springsteen. _
Yeah, tell her I love toys.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
I mean_
Well, I would have loved to see [E] you in Harlem.
That's what I was going to say.
It's like now that we were talking about that, I thought you were going to go into a story about meeting Kurt Cobain.
I was like, I miss him so much.
_ That would be amazing.
I wasn't _ _ allowed to go to the concert in _ Milky Way [Eb] in Amsterdam, which I wanted to go to.
But there was a [E] live recording and I'm so sorry [A] I missed out on that.
But I was too young.
Yeah.
I was way too young.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Jump around, [N] run around in a circle.
Yeah.
[Dbm] [Ab] Just start like pacing.
Well, we did this stupid handshakes kind of stuff.
This [E] group thing.
Ours is really bad.
Yeah, ours is really bad.
And every time we do it, I go, we got to come up with something better than that.
And then we forget because we go on stage and it happens again the next night.
Yeah, exactly. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Eat nice [N] Asian food and stuff like that.
Yes, we are very alike.
Yeah.
Asian food is my love language.
Yeah.
Depends on where we are.
If we're someplace cool, [Dbm] go out and see something [Ab] cultural, do [E] something usually food related. _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah.
For [Dbm] sure.
Especially when my family is out with me.
I have a five-year-old and he comes with us some of the time, but all the time would be too much.
So the times we're apart, I definitely can't say.
Yeah, me too.
I have some kids and [N] the youngest is eight.
So _ he's in school.
Yeah, yeah.
But _ _ _ _ _ _ it's also better not to have them.
Totally.
[E] _ _
There's a good and bad in both ways.
Yeah, totally. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Do [N] _ _ you?
Yeah, I have.
Every time?
Well, when the tour starts, I die a [Dbm] thousand times before I go on stage because it's all new stuff mostly.
[N] That's what it is, it's new stuff.
New stuff and I'm always a huge failure problem, I think.
_ _ But, you know, it's getting better.
You mean when you mess up, you keep messing up?
Yeah.
Me too.
[Db] It's only when you mess up that the mess ups get really bad.
Usually the first mistake wasn't [Bb] that bad.
You can't stop thinking about how much you suck, how much you messed up and how [Ab] everyone's judging you.
And then you can't play at all anymore.
Yeah, exactly.
And then how they're going to talk about it on the internet.
Oh, she missed [E] this?
Or she missed that?
On the internet.
Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I haven't in [N] a long time.
Me neither.
I feel pretty much like people are people. Yeah, totally.
I must say that I've, except for the family of course, [Bb] but then I've never had something like, you know, if people are [Gbm] famous, I _ was never waiting [Ab] in line or going like that, you know.
I was never really fangirling that much.
No, they're hyper.
[Dbm] But more like, yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Everybody gets one.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Once in a while.
Very occasionally, very special people. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, absolutely.
I [Dbm] feel like I step on stage and _ something else just takes over a little bit.
I definitely feel like a different person on stage.
I think _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[N] it's who you are on stage, but it's _ _ been _ an extreme version of it.
_ Also because you get the stage first, you can let it go.
It's like, okay, [Bb] you would never cry eyes out for everyone to see, you [Ab] know, but on stage you can do everything you feel.
I think it's a [E] part of who you are, [Ab] but it's the extreme version.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sleep.
Yeah, just flop on the [Ab] bed.
Face first.
Yeah, get into a new rhythm, you know.
It's like at home there's a different rhythm than when you're on [N] tour.
You have long nights and long mornings and you sleep a long time.
But at home you have to be up at eight and go again.
So you have to get in a different rhythm.
Not very rock and roll.
No.
Mom and roll. _ _ _ _ _
