D A Bm G
Realizations are telling me what
D A G
what I can not have
D A Bm G
when I lay my head down and close my eyes
D A G
I see someone from inside

It's so much happier here
Bm A
It's so much brighter here

Why can't I stay on the inside (inside) and hide

I can feel the changes in my head

Got to find a way to resolve

All the thought that you will call
SOLO: play chords of verse
Verse #2 (play same chords as verse 1)
Despite the restrictions this is where I hide
My place to be free inside
My place to hold, my place to kiss
Why is consciousness not like this
It's so much happier here
It's so much brighter here
Why can't I stay on the inside and hide
REPEAT CHORUS
Verse #3 (play same chords as verse 1)
Frustrations are telling me I can't go
There's to many calendars torn down
It's time to fight, time to confide
Time to bring someone for the inside
It's so much happier here
It's so much brighter here
Why can't I stay on the inside and hide
REPEAT CHORUS
