Wearing The Inside Out

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