Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO - THEME:
| E | Abm A | E | F#m A |
| E | Abm A | E | C#m A |

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

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

INTERLUDE 1 - THEME:
| E | Abm A | E | F#m A |
| E | Abm A | E | C#m A |

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

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

INTERLUDE 2:
| Abm | A | E | B |
| Abm | A | E | B |

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

CHORUS 3:
      E       Emaj7     Esus4 (let ring)
Until one day I stopped caring
      E                   B
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
      E                    C#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
        F#m                         C#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
      F#m                   A      B                E
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

OUTRO - THEME:
| E | Abm A | E | F#m A |
                  Beneath the
| E | Abm A | E | C#m A |
  surface
| E |
