Intro: C/G
 
Verse
C/G Am
Way way down a hole - there's no feeling
Bbmaj7 G
Cause when you're so far beneath the floor - everything's a ceiling
C/G Am
We dug it down as deep as we could - just like we planned it
Bbmaj7 G
When you climbed out you pulled the ladder - and it left me stranded
 
Chorus
F Am
So what am I supposed to do
C Am Am/G
I'm calling out to you
F C C/B
You're miles away, it's true
(ring)
F G C/G
Digging with someone new
 
C/G Am
So far down in this hole - there's little daylight
Bbmaj7 G
I feel the shards of the midday sun and then it's black as midnight
C/G Am
The only stars I see in the sky - they don't move me
Bbmaj7 G
Cause they've all been dead for millions of years - they're just light diffusing
 
[Refrão]
F Am
A constellation is more
C Am Am/G
And the brightest point is form
F C C/B
Every telescope you assumed
(ring)
F G C/G
Was pointed only at you
 
Bridge
Am
And I've got nowhere to go except further below
C/G
So I keep digging
Am
It gets darker everyday
C/G
But I see no other way than just committing
F C/G
If the earth is as round as they say
E7 Am Am/G
Then I won't find another place
F C/G
From where I break back through
E7 Am Am/G
That's farther away from you
(ring)
F C/G
That's farther away from you
 
C/G Am
Way way down a hole - there's no feeling
Bbmaj7 G
Cause when you're so far beneath the floor - everything's a ceiling
