C5                 G5 
From morning to night I stayed out of sight 
D5                     F5 
Didn't recognize I'd become 
   C5                  G5 
No more than alive I'd barely survive 
D5              F5 
In a word...overrun 
 

             G5            D5 
Won't hear a sound from my mouth 
               G5                 D5 
I've spent too long on the inside out 
           G5                D5 
My skin is cold to the human touch 
              G5                  D5    F5 
This bleeding heart's not beating much 
 

  C5                G5 
I murmured a vow of silence and now 
D5                              F5 
I don't even hear when I think aloud 
  C5                    G5 
Extinguished by light I turn on the night 
D5                              F5 
Wear its darkness with an empty smile 
 

Ab5 
I'm creeping back to life 
   G5 
My nervous system all awry 
Ab5                     Bb5 
I'm wearing the inside out 
 

C5                    G5 
Look at him now, he's paler somehow 
D5                 F5 
  But he's coming around 
     C5                              G5 
He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke 
D5                                       F5 
Well he can have the words right from my mouth 
 

               G5          D5 
And with these words I can see 
                  G5                  D5 
Clear through the clouds that covered me 
             G5                 D5 
Just give it time then speak my name 
           G5              D5 
Now we can hear ourselves again 
 

            G5          D5 
I'm holding out for the day 
               G5                D5 
When all these clouds have blown away 
             G5                  D5 
I'm with you now, can speak your name 
           G5             D5    F5  Bb5 
Now we can hear ourselves again
