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