Wearing The Inside Out (ver. 2)
View chords used in this chart
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
