         Am    G         C              F      Am
I'm not going down on my knees, begging you to adore me

          Am       G    C      F         Am
Can't you see it's misery and torture for me?

         C           G
When I'm misunderstood

       C                              G
Try as hard as you can, I've tried as hard as I could

   F
To make you see

                 F
How important it is for me
[Chorus]
          Am                     Cm
Here is a plea from my heart to you

         G#                    F
Nobody knows me as well as you do

             Am                    Cm
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

           G#                        F
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
[Post-Chorus]
Am   G  C               Am  G C
          Understand me,        understand me

Am   G  C               Am  G C
          Understand me,        understand me
F F G G Am Am Am Am [Verse 2]
      Am     G      C        F        Am
Some people have to be permanently together

Am  G         C           F         Am
   Lovers devoted to each other forever

       C            G
That's not what I mean

C                              G
That's not for us, we're on a different scene

             F
But when I'm not there

                F
In spirit, I'll be there
[Chorus]
          Am                     Cm
Here is a plea from my heart to you

         G#                    F
Nobody knows me as well as you do

             Am                    Cm
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

           G#                        F
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
[Post-Chorus]
Am   G  C               Am  G C
          Understand me,        understand me

Am   G  C               Am  G C
          Understand me,        understand me
