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
