NOTE; i put the key as E but with the capo
it will be as if you're playing in D
If you want to play it in the original key
press transpose +2 and take away the capo
| represents a barline for the instrumental bit
[Verse 1]
AI can remember shouting
AI can remember slamming doors
AAnd I remember seeing EmsignsD  
GHolding it all inside Dme
Trying to read between the AlinesAsus4  
AAnd I can still hear the silence
AIt fell on the floor like heavy rain
AGod let it wash the words EmawayD  
GNothing was strong enough to Dsave me
Or wash away the AstainsAsus4  A  
[Chorus]
From where I EmstandD  
With the Gthings I know now
They were Dcounting the years on Aone hand
And they're Bmcounting the tears on the Aother
From where I EmstandD  
I could Gnever have known
When something Dloves
Something Asuffers and something Bmdies
G D
Then we Acry
[Verse 2]
ANothing had felt so empty
ANothing had felt so insecure
ANothing could take me from that EmplaceD  
GWanting to hear your every Dword
And know the reason for your fallen Aface
AThere was someone to hold my hand
ASomebody to share my point of view
AStanding beside me as we EmgoD  
GAt least if I have that Dforever
I'll never have to AknowAsus4  A  
[Chorus]
From where I EmstandD  
With the Gthings I know now
They were Dcounting the years on Aone hand
And they're Bmcounting the tears on the Aother
From where I EmstanDd
I could Gnever have known
When something Dloves
Something Asuffers and something Bmdies
G D
Then we Acry
[Intrumental]

[Outro]
From where I EmstandD  
With the Gthings I know now
They were Dcounting the years on Aone hand
And they're Bmcounting the tears on the Aother
From where I EmstanDd
I could Gnever have known
When something Dloves
Something Asuffers and something Bmdies
