Em                        C
How can you see into my eyes 
C
like open doors
Em                        C
Leading you down into my core 
C
where I've become so numb.

E5 
Without a soul
C5
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold 
E5                           C5
until you find it there and lead it back home.

E5      
(Wake me up)
             G5
Wake me up inside. 
(I can't wake up)
                D5
Wake me up inside. 
(Save me)
                  E5      A5   C5   E5
Call my name and save me from the dark. 
E5
(Wake me up)
               G5
Bid my blood to run. 
(I can't wake up) 
                 D5   
Before I come undone. 
(Save me)
                  E5      A5 C5   E5
Save me from the nothing I've become.

E5
Now that I know what I'm without
C5
you can't just leave me.
E5
Breathe into me and make me real
C5
Bring me to life.

CHORUS

C5    D5     E5 
Bring me to life. 
(I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside)

C5    D5     E5 
Bring me to life.

E5-F#5-G5-B5

A5       G5                 F#5
Frozen inside without your touch,
                E5-F#5-G5-B5
without your love, darling.
A5       G5                 F#5
Only you are the life among the dead.

E5 
(All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me)
C5
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
E5
(Without a thought?Without a voice?Without a soul)
(Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong)
C5
Bring me to life.

CHORUS

C5    D5     E5 
Bring me to life. 
(I've been living a lie
E5-F#5-G5-B5
There's nothing inside)
C5    D5     E5 
Bring me to life.

Bring Me To Life

Intro:

Em  C

Verse 1:

Em                        C
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Em                              C
Still can't find what keeps me here
     Em                          C
When all this time I've been so hollow...inside

# (Stop all music)

I know your still there

Chorus 1:

Em       D           Em
Watching me, wanting me
       B                Em
I can feel you pull me down
Em       D          Em
Fearing you, loving you
         B               Em
I won't let you pull me down

Verse 2:

Em                  C
Hunting you, I can smell you alive
Em                         C
Your heart pounding in my head

Chorus 2:

Em       D           Em
Watching me, wanting me
       B               Em
I can feel you pull me down
Em     D          Em           B
Saving me, raping me, watching me

# (There's a solo here, look at the other tabs to find it)

Chorus 3 (same as chorus 1):

Em       D           Em
Watching me, wanting me
       B                Em
I can feel you pull me down
Em       D          Em
Fearing you, loving you
         B               Em
I won't let you pull me down

G              Bm
I'm so tired of being here
G              Bm
Suppressed by all my childish fears
G
And if you have to leave
Bm
I wish that you would just leave
G
'Cause your presence still lingers here
Bm
And it won't leave me alone


Em                          Bm
These wounds won't seem to heal
Em                   Bm
This pain is just too real
Em                         Bm              D
There's just too much that time cannot erase


[CHORUS:]
Em          C        D         Bm
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em          C        D         Bm
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em          C        D         Bm
I held your hand through all of these years
Em          C
But you still have
D        G  Bm  G  Bm
All of me


G               Bm
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

C           Em            D                C
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
Em                 Bm
But though you're still with me
C          D          Em   C  D  Bm
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

I can feel the night beginning

separate me from the living 
Am                
understanding me

find the words to make me better

Em
I believe that dreams are sacred 
Em
take my darkest fears and play them 
Am        
like a lullaby 
B7
like a reason why 
Em
like a play of my obsessions 
Em
make me understand the lesson 
Am 
so I'll find myself 
B7                      Em
so I wont be lost again

to make you see me

to be the one

I could have run forever 
Em                                 C
but how far would I have come 
Am                           Em
without mourning your love? 

Am                    Em

Em         Am                 Em
should it hurt to love you?

I've been looking in the mirror for so long 
 
Bm         G         A        Bm                  G    A 
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side 
 
Bm       G      A      Bm        G    A 
All the little pieces falling shatter 
 
Bm         G  A            Bm          G    A 
Shards of me too sharp to put back together 
 
      F#      G 
Too small to matter 
 
     Bm            A              F#           G 
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces 
 
       A 
If I try to touch her 
 
        G A      G A 
And I bleed, I bleed 
 
        Bm  A      Bm  A      
And I breathe, I breathe 
 
    Bm 
No more  
 
Bm       G            A      Bm                    G    A 
Take a breath and I'll try to draw from my spirit's well 
 
Bm    G             A        Bm                    G    A 
Yet again you´ll refuse to drink like a stubborn child 
 
Bm      G      A            Bm         A      G     A 
Lie to me, convince me that I've been sick forever 
 
     Bm      G     A        Bm               G     A 
And all of this, will make sense when I get better 
 
F#              G 
But I know the difference 
 
    Bm              A 
Between myself and my reflection 
 
        F#                 G 
I just can't help but to wonder 
 
A 
Which of us do you love? 
 
       G A      G A 
So I bleed, I bleed 
 
        Bm A       Bm A 
And I breathe, I breathe no... 
 
G  A       G A 
Bleed, I bleed 
 
       Bm A       Bm A 
And I breathe, I breathe 
 
Bm   A        Bm  A 
I breathe, I breathe 
 
    Bm   G   A   Bm 
No more

Breathe No More

Am  Em          Am   Em      D      C     Em
remember that all alone is where I belong

D      Am
In a dream

will you give your love to me
Am              D     Am   B7
beg my broken heart to beat

If I fall and all is lost

Just what we all need
	  Bb      C 
More lies about a world that

D 	      Bb    C 
Never was and never will be

Have you no shame, don't you see me?

You know you've got everybody fooled.

Bow down and stare in wonder.

Oh, how we love you
	   Bb 	  C 
Too bad we didn't know she -

D 	      Bb    C 
Never was and never will be

Can't find yourself,

Lost in your lies

I know the truth now

I know who you are

Everybodys Fool

Bb                    Gm
Can you forgive me again?
                   Dm  Asus4 Dm
I don't know what I said
         D#             D#m
But I didn't mean to hurt you

Bb                   Gm
I heard the words come out
                     F
I felt like I would die
                         Bb
It hurt so much to hurt you

         Bb            Gm
But then you look at me
            Dm           
You're not shouting anymore
       D#    D#m 
You're silently broken

Bb                 Gm
I'd give anything now
                         F
to kill those words for you

       D#                           Dm                            
Each time I say something I regret I cry I don't want to lose you. 
         D#                              F
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

   Bb                   Gm
'Cause you were made for me
                       Dm
Somehow I'll make you see
     D#         D#m
How happy you make me

Bb                 Gm
I can't live this life
                    Dm
Without you by my side
    D#            D#m
I need you to survive

Bb            Gm
So stay with me
        F                     D#         D#m     
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that 
      Bb   Gm   Dm   D#   D#m   Bb   Gm   F   D#  D#m
I'm sorry.

     Bb
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you

Forgive Me


Bm (all the time)
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
G-A5  Em
I'm dying again
           Bm-G-D
I'm going under
A           Bm-G-D
Drowning in you
A              Bm-G-D
I'm falling forever
A                  Bm-G
I've got to break through
D   A      Bm
I'm going under

Bm (all the time again)
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
G-A5  Em
I'm dying again

(Just repeat the above chords)
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

A            G
So go on and scream
         F#              Bm
Scream at me I'm so far away
                     G
I won't be broken again
                F#
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under 
Bm-G-D-A
and then Bm is the last chord

Going Under

C          G#
Under your spell again
F   G#          C

I---- can't say no to you

D                      F          C
Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely
      G   D        F

its been such a long time coming, but I feel good

    G         F               C    G     F  C              
and I'm still waiting for the r—a—i—n to fa--ll
G         F            C

Dry your eyes

And not goodbye

#Intro
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G 
 
Bm                 G                      Bm   
How can I pretend that I don't see? 
                 G                  Bm 
What you hide so carelessly? 
  G                Bm 
I saw her bleed 
        G 
You heard me breathe 
         Bm                   G 
And I froze inside myself 
                        Bm 
And turned away 
   G 
I must be dreaming 
 
Bm            A
We all live (but) 
Bm           A
We all die (but) 
Bm           A    Bm                D 
That does not begin to justify you 
 
G    A                 G 
It's not what it seems 
  A                  G   
Not what you think 
  A                     Bm 
No, I must be dreaming 
G    A                G 
It's only in my mind 
 A          G        
Not real life 
 A                    Bm 
No, I must be dreaming 
 
Bm                          G                    Bm 
Help! You know I've got to tell someone 
                G                            Bm 
Tell them what I know you've done 
         G            Bm                     G 
I fear you, but spoken fears can come true 
 
Bm            A 
We all live (but) 
Bm           A 
We all die (but) 
Bm          A      Bm                D 
That does not begin to justify you 
 
G    A                 G 
It's not what it seems 
  A                  G   
Not what you think 
  A                     Bm 
No, I must be dreaming 
G    A                G 
It's only in my mind 
 A         G        
Not real life 
 A                      Bm 
No, I must be dreaming

I Must Be Dreaming

Em            D
I linger in the doorway
         Em                                  D
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
       Em                                  D
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me
          Em                                  D
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
   
   Em                C
In my field of paper flowers
    Em              C
And candy clouds of lullaby
  Em                    C
I lie inside myself for hours
    Em                           C
And watch my purple sky fly over me

      Em             D
Don't say i'm out of touch
          Em                 D 
With this rampant chaos - your reality
       Em                                D
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
    Em                                D
The nightmare i built my own world to escape
   
   Em                C
In my field of paper flowers
    Em              C
And candy clouds of lullaby
  Em                    C
I lie inside myself for hours
    Em                           C
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Em                  C 
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
C                    Em             C
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Em                    C 
Oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
C              Em        C
The goddess of imaginary light

   Em                C
In my field of paper flowers
    Em              C
And candy clouds of lullaby
  Em                    C
I lie inside myself for hours
    Em                           C
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Imaginary

Am
Sparkling grey
        G             F   G   Em
Through my own veins
Am
Any more than a whisper
G                         F      G Em
Any sudden movement of my heart
      F       G                    Em           Am       G
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

         F                 G Em
Just get through this day

F            Am   F            Am
Give up your way, you could be anything,
F          Am
Give up my way,
    G
and lose myself,
    Am     G
not today
                F              G Em
That's too much guilt to pay

Am
Sickened in the sun
    G                   F      G Em
You dare tell me you love me
        Am                   G                     F    G Em
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
          F         G                 Em         Am    G
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way
                      F             G  Em
You're just so pretty in your pain

F          Am       F          Am
Give up my way, and I could be anything
     F           Am
I'll make my own way
    G
Without your senseless

Am  F  G  C (x2) 
Em  F  G-Em ( stop on Em, then move to the next bridge)
hate....hate...hate.....hate 


   F    C    Em  Am
So run, run, run
    F              C
And hate me, if it feels good
Em                  Am
I can't hear your screams anymore

    F
You lied to me
        C
But I'm older now
    Em             Am
And I'm not buying baby

          F
Demanding my response
             C
Don't bother breaking the door down
  G (let ring)
I found my way out

           F             C  (let ring)
And you'll never hurt me again

Last Song I'm Wasting On You

Em         D            C       D
Listen to each drop of rain (aaaah)
Em          D           C       D
Whispering secrets in vain (aaaah)
C            D             Em
Frantically searching for someone to hear
       C        D           Em
Their story before they hit ground
C                D             Em
Please don't let go, can't we stay for a while?
C               D             Em
It's just too hard to say goodbye
C              D       Em
Listen to the rain.......

          Em
Aaaaaaaaaaaah
(no chord)
Listen, listen, listen, listen to the rain
Em    D
Weeping
C      D     Em
Ooooooooooooooh
C      D     Em
Ooooooooooooooh

Em         D          C      D
I stand alone in the storm (aaaah)
Em         D                C      D
Suddenly, sweet words take hold (aaaah)
C            D            Em
Hurry, they say, for you haven't much time
C            D         G           D
Open your eyes to the love around you
C                     D            G               D
You may feel you're alone but I'm here still with you
        C             Em
You can do what you dream
        Am         D             Em       D
Just remember to listen to the rain........
C       D      Em
Oooooooooooooooh
C       D      Em
Oooooooooooooooh

Dm       Am/D             Dm
Please, please forgive me
     Gm/D            Dm
But I won't be home again
           Am/D                         Dm
Maybe some day you'll look up
          Gm/D                           Bb9  
And barely conscious you'll say to no one
Bb    A4              Dm
Isn't something missing?

          Am/D                  Dm
You won't cry for my absence I know
       Gm           Dm
You forgot me long ago
     Am/D         Dm
Am I that unimportant?
        Gm            Bb9  Bb
Am I so insignificant?
      A4          A   Bb9  Bb
Isn't something missing?
      A/C#
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm                  C/E  F
Even though I'm the sacrifice
Gm        Bb      C       Dm
You won't try for me not now
           C/E     F             Gm
Though I'd die to know you loved me
           A4     A  Bb
I'm all alone
       A4       A      Dm  Am/D  Dm Gm/D
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm       Am/D             Dm
Please, please forgive me
       Gm/D          Dm
But I won't be home again
        Am/D                  Dm
I know what you do to yourself
          Gm/D            Bb9  Bb
I breathe deep and cry out
       A4         A     Bb9  Bb
Isn't something missing?
       A/C#
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm                  C/E  F
Even though I'm the sacrifice
Gm         Bb     C       Dm
You won't try for me not now
            C/E    F             Gm
Though I'd die to know you loved me
           A4     A  Bb9 Bb
I'm all alone
       A4       A     Bb9  Bb A/C# 
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm        Dm/C     Bb9 Bb
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Gm                Dm
Knowing you don't care
          Dm/C                   Bb9 Bb
And if I sleep just to dream of you
     A               Bb9 Bb
And wake without you there
      A4          A      Bb9 Bb        A/C#
Isn't something missing?          Isn't something....

Dm                  C/E  F
Even though I'm the sacrifice
Gm         Bb     C       Dm
You won't try for me not now
           C/E     F             Gm
Though I'd die to know you loved me
           A4      A  Bb9 Bb
I'm all alone
       A4      A       Bb9 Bb  
Isn't someone missing me?

A              C#m
I'm so tired of being here
A              C#m
Suppressed by all my childish fears
A
And if you have to leave
C#m
I wish that you would just leave
A
Cause your presence still lingers here
C#m
And it won't leave me alone


F#m                          C#m
These wounds won't seem to heal
F#m                   C#m
This pain is just too real
F#m                         C#m              E
There's just too much that time cannot erase


[CHORUS:]
F#m          D        E         C#m
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
F#m          D        E         C#m
I held your hand through all of these years
F#m          D
But you still have
E        A  C#m  A  C#m
All of me


A               C#m
You used to captivate me
A               C#m
By your resonating light
A               C#m
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
A
Your face it haunts
C#m
My once pleasant dreams
A
Your voice it chased away
C#m
All the sanity in me

F#m                          C#m
These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me
D          E          F#m   D  E  C#m
I've been alone all along

All of me

This is the main riff this for the song, if any one wants to
try to work it into the chords and all while playing.

There might be a few mistakes in the song but for the most 
part I think it came out alright.

My Last Breath

Em       C G D         Em            C    G D
I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window
        Em     C G D               Em      C G D Em D C Em D C Em D C Em D C
That I never even knocked on the front door


  Em        D    C     Em         D       C
I walk by statues never even made one chip
Em                      D           C
But if I could leave a mark on the monument of the heart
   Em               D               C                           Em D C
I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day

Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone but this time is sweeter than honey

Taking Over Me

You, all of my hate cannot be found

Beat me to the ground

I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
Wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?

You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
E   F  E
You take your turn lashing out at me
E  F   D   E
I want you crying when you're bloody down in front of me

Chorus Again

Thoughtless

Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges  The song was developed during the 2001-2002 demos and later released as track #9 on Fallen. The most personal song ever written and released by Amy Lee; this is the only Fallen song that has never been performed live in concert (the band considered it in 2003). A theme from the song, however, was used in the beginning of a few live shows in 2003 as the intro to the song Going Under. There is also a video of Amy singing it in her parents' house in 2004, the only recorded live version of the song. 

Written by: A. Lee and B. MoodyThis song lasts about the entire span of Evanescence

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Chorus:

                   C
I...              driving...

Em
      City...

        D
And...  arm...
    
    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

C           D
be...       be... 

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
