my immortal

 by evanescence

this version uses (unnecessary) capo 3: 

A C#m

i’m so tired of being here

suppressed by all my childish fears

and if you have to leave

i wish that you would just leave

‘cause your presence still lingers here

and it won’t leave me alone

F#m C#m

these wounds won’t seem to heal

this pain is just too real

                                                             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

       and i held your hand through all of these years

       but you still have

       all of me

A C#m

you used to captivate me

by your resonating life

now i’m bound by the life you’ve left behind

your face it haunts

my once pleasant dreams

your voice it chased away

all the sanity in me

F#m C#m

these wounds won’t seem to heal

this pain is just too real

                                                                           E

there’s just too much that time cannot erase

      CHORUS

BRIDGE

D                E                C#m                   D6

i’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone

       D                             E

but though you’re still with me

D6            E

i’ve been alone all along

F#m D E C#m 2x

      CHORUS
