Wearning The Inside Out
View chords used in this chart
Bm Dmaj7
From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Amaj7 E
Didn't recognize I'd become
Bm Dmaj7
No more than alive I'd barely survive
Amaj7 E
In a word...overrun
F#m E
Won't hear a sound from my mouth
F#m E
I've spent too long on the inside out
F#m E
My skin is cold to the human touch
F#m E
This bleeding heart's not beating much
Bm Dmaj7
I murmured a vow of silence and now
Amaj7 E
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Bm Dmaj7
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Amaj7 E
Wear its darkness with an empty smile
Em
I'm creeping back to life
F# G
My nervous system all awry
A
I'm wearing the inside out
Bm Dmaj7
Look at him now, he's paler somehow
Amaj7 E
But he's coming around
Bm Dmaj7
He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke
Amaj7 E
Well he can have the words right from my mouth
F#m E
And with these words I can see
F#m E
Clear through the clouds that covered me
F#m E
Just give it time then speak my name
F#m E
Now we can hear ourselves again
F#m E
I'm holding out for the day
F#m E
When all these clouds have blown away
F#m E
I'm with you now, can speak your name
F#m E
Now we can hear ourselves again
