| E MajorE | AbmAbm A augmentedA | E MajorE | C# minorC#m A augmentedA |

VERSE 1:
E MajorE           AbmAbm
Is there ever really a right time?
    C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
You had led me to believe someday you'll be there for me
E MajorE            AbmAbm
When the stars above the light
     C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
When you weren't so consumed I kept looking for the clues
F# minorF#m        BB
So I waited in the shadows of my heart
F# minorF#m             BB
And still the time was never right

CHORUS 1:
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
Until one day I stopped caring
   E MajorE          BB
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
   E MajorE          C# minorC#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
    F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
   F# minorF#m          A augmentedA   BB        E MajorE
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

| E MajorE | AbmAbm A augmentedA | E MajorE | F# minorF#m A augmentedA |
| E MajorE | AbmAbm A augmentedA | E MajorE | C# minorC#m A augmentedA |

VERSE 2:
E MajorE                 AbmAbm
A augmentedA shallow of what things could've been
   C# minorC#m                A augmentedA
Tired bones beneath of them I've guarded secrets out your frame
E MajorE           AbmAbm
Sort of thing I never knew
     C# minorC#m               A augmentedA
You were searching for the words, for the moment to emerge
F# minorF#m         BB
Yet the moment never came
F# minorF#m             BB
You couldn't risk my fragile frame

CHORUS 2:
   E MajorE          A augmentedA
Until one day you stopped caring
   E MajorE          BB
And began to forget why I tried to be so close
    E MajorE          C# minorC#m
And you disappeared into the darkness
    F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
   F# minorF#m          A augmentedA   BB        AbmAbm
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

INTERLUDE 2:
| AbmAbm | A augmentedA | E MajorE | BB |
| AbmAbm | A augmentedA | E MajorE | BB |

MID-8:
AbmAbm            A augmentedA
I would scream just to be heard
           E MajorE               BB
As if yelling at the stars, I was bleeding just to feel
AbmAbm          A augmentedA
You would never say a word
            E MajorE              BB   BB (let ring)
Kept me reaching in the dark, always something to conceal

CHORUS 3:
   E MajorE    EMaj7Emaj7   Esus4Esus4 (let ring)
Until one day I stopped caring
   E MajorE          BB
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
   E MajorE          C# minorC#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
    F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
   F# minorF#m          A augmentedA   BB        E MajorE
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

OUTRO - THEME:
| E MajorE | AbmAbm A augmentedA | E MajorE | F# minorF#m A augmentedA |
         Beneath the
| E MajorE | AbmAbm A augmentedA | E MajorE | C# minorC#m A augmentedA |
 surface
| E MajorE |
