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

 Em      D     C    D
I tried so hard


Em, D, C, D
