        Dm    C            F            Bb       Dm (riff 1)
I'm not going down on my knees  begging you to adore me
          Dm       C      F        Bb      Dm (riff 1)
Can't you see it's misery   and torture for me
         F              C          F
When I'm misunderstood      try as hard as you can
              C                       Bb
I've tried as hard as I could  to make you see
How important it is for me
            Dm                 Fm                Db
Here is a plea  from my heart to you  nobody knows me
                Bb                Dm
As well as you do  you know how hard it is for me
     Fm                             Db
To shake the disease  that takes hold of my tongue
       Bb
In situations like these

Dm  C  F             Dm  C  F
         Understand me        Understand me
Dm  C  F             Dm  C  F
         Understand me        Understand me

(other verses/choruses as above)

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before that I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these.

Understand me
