[Verse]
C/GWay way down a hole - there's no fAmeeling
Cause when you're Bbmaj7so far beneath the floor - everything's a ceGiling
C/GWe dug it down as deep as we could - just like we pAmlanned it
When you Bbmaj7climbed out you pulled the ladder - and it left me strGanded
[Chorus]
FSo what am I supposed to Amdo
CI'm calling out to AmyouAm/G  
FYou're miles away, it's tCrueC/B  
(ring)
FDigging with Gsomeone C/Gnew
C/GSo far down in this hole - there's little Amdaylight
I feel the Bbmaj7shards of the midday sun and then it's black as midGnight
C/GThe only stars I see in the sky - they don't Ammove me
Cause they've aBbmaj7ll been dead for millions of years - they're just light difGfusing
[Chorus]
FA constellation is Ammore
CAnd the brightest point is AmformAm/G  
FEvery telescope you assuCmedC/B

And I've got Amnowhere to go except further below
So I keep C/Gdigging
It gets dAmarker everyday
But I see no other way than just comC/Gmitting
FIf the earth is as round as they C/Gsay
Then I wE7on't find another pAmlaceAm/G

[Verse]

C/G Am

Way way down a hole - there's no feeling

Bbmaj7 G

Cause when you're so far beneath the floor - everything's a ceiling

C/G Am

We dug it down as deep as we could - just like we planned it

Bbmaj7 G

When you climbed out you pulled the ladder - and it left me stranded

[Chorus]

F Am

So what am I supposed to do

C Am Am/G

I'm calling out to you

F C C/B

You're miles away, it's true

(ring)

F G C/G

Digging with someone new

C/G Am

So far down in this hole - there's little daylight

Bbmaj7 G

I feel the shards of the midday sun and then it's black as midnight

C/G Am

The only stars I see in the sky - they don't move me

Bbmaj7 G

Cause they've all been dead for millions of years - they're just light diffusing

[Chorus]

F Am

A constellation is more

C Am Am/G

And the brightest point is form

F C C/B

Every telescope you assumed

F G C/G

Was pointed only at you

[Bridge]

And I've got nowhere to go except further below

C/G

So I keep digging

It gets darker everyday

C/G

But I see no other way than just committing

F C/G

If the earth is as round as they say

E7 Am Am/G

Then I won't find another place

F C/G

From where I break back through

E7 Am Am/G

That's farther away from you

F C/G

That's farther away from you

C/G Am

Way way down a hole - there's no feeling

Bbmaj7 G

Cause when you're so far beneath the floor - everything's a ceiling
