Bm Dmaj7 From morning to night I stayed out of sight Amaj7 E Didn't recognize I'd become Bm Dmaj7 No more than alive I'd barely survive Amaj7 E In a word...overrun F#m E Won't hear a sound from my mouth F#m E I've spent too long on the inside out F#m E My skin is cold to the human touch F#m E This bleeding heart's not beating much
Bm Dmaj7 I murmured a vow of silence and now Amaj7 E I don't even hear when I think aloud Bm Dmaj7 Extinguished by light I turn on the night Amaj7 E Wear its darkness with an empty smile Em I'm creeping back to life F# G My nervous system all awry A I'm wearing the inside out Bm Dmaj7 Look at him now, he's paler somehow Amaj7 E But he's coming around Bm Dmaj7 He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke Amaj7 E Well he can have the words right from my mouth F#m E And with these words I can see F#m E Clear through the clouds that covered me F#m E Just give it time then speak my name F#m E Now we can hear ourselves again F#m E I'm holding out for the day F#m E When all these clouds have blown away F#m E I'm with you now, can speak your name F#m E Now we can hear ourselves again
