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)


 Em            D          C       D
I tried so hard


Em, D, C, D
