Evanescence — Understanding Chords
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
