• Song:

    The Child Inside

  • Artist:

    Depeche Mode

INTRO:
Dm G - 2x


COUPLET 1:
         Dm
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside?
    C
The shallow grave in your soul
                                B
The ghosts there have taken control


CHORUS:
    Am                 G             F        Dm 
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Am              G            F           Dm
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
    Em            Dm
The child inside away


INSTRUMENTAL (the same as the intro)


COUPLET 2 (plaus the same way as the 1st):
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside


CHORUS (plays the same way as the 1st):
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart


BREAK:
Dm


BRIDGE:
A
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
F
Every night


INSTRUMENTAL (the same as the intro)


COUPLET 3 (plays the same way as the 1st):
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine?
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found


CHORUS (plays the same way as the 1st):
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
But you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died


END (the same as the intro and fades out...)
