Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

INTRO:
DmDm G+G - 2x


COUPLET 1:
     DmDm
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside?
  C majorC
The shallow grave in your soul
                BB
The ghosts there have taken control

CHORUS:
  A minorAm         G+G       FF    DmDm
You really should have dug a little deeper there
A minorAm       G+G      FF      DmDm
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
  E minorEm      DmDm
The child inside away


INSTRUMENTAL (the same as the intro)


COUPLET 2 (plaus the same way as the 1st):
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A augmentedA river that will not subside


CHORUS (plays the same way as the 1st):
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart


BREAK:
DmDm


BRIDGE:
A augmentedA
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
FF
Every night


INSTRUMENTAL (the same as the intro)


COUPLET 3 (plays the same way as the 1st):
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine?
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found


CHORUS (plays the same way as the 1st):
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
But you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died


END (the same as the intro and fades out...)
