[Intro]
| Cm| Ebmaj7| Bbmaj7| F| x4
[Verse 1]
From Cmmorning to night I Ebmaj7stayed out of sight
Bbmaj7Didn't recognize I'd beFcome
No Cmmore than alive I'd Ebmaj7barely survive
Bbmaj7In a word...overFrun
[Chorus 1]
Won't hear a Gmsound
(He's curled into the corner)
From my Fmouth
(But still the screen is flickering)
I've spent too Gmlong
(With an endless stream of garbage to)
On the inside Fout
(…curse the place)
My skin is Gmcold
(In a sea of random images)
To the human Ftouch
(The self-destructing animal)
This bleeding Gmheart's
(Waiting for the waves to break)
Not beating Fmuch
[Verse 2]
I Cmmurmured a vow of Ebmaj7silence and now
Bbmaj7I don't even hear when I think aFloud
ExCmtinguished by light I Ebmaj7turn on the night
Bbmaj7Wear its darkness with an empty Fsmile
[Interlude]
| Ab| Cm| Gm| Ab|
[Bridge]
FmI'm creeping back to life
My Gnervous system all awry
AbI'm wearing the inside Bbout
[Instrumental]
| Cm| Ebmaj7| Bbmaj7| F| x2
[Verse 3]
CmLook at him now, he's Ebmaj7paler somehow
Bbmaj7But he's coming Fround
He's Cmstarting to choke, it's been so Ebmaj7long since he spoke
Bbmaj7Well he can have the words right from my Fmouth
[Chorus 2]
And with these Gmwords
I can Fsee
Clear through the Gmclouds
that covered Fme
Just give it Gmtime
then speak my Fname
Now we can Gmhear
ourselves aFgain
[Chorus 3]
I'm holding Gmout
(He's standing on the threshold)
For the Fday
(Caught in fiery anger)
When all the Gmclouds
(And hurled into the furnace he'll)
Have blown aFway
(Curse the place)
I'm with you Gmnow
(He's torn in all directions)
Can speak your Fname
(And still the screen is flickering)
Now we can Gmhear
(Waiting for the flames to break)
Ourselves aFgain
