E                        A   B
We're dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside


[Verse 1]
E                                   A   B
Right on time here's the other shoe
E                             A   B
Clouds overhead start to loom
E                                   A   B
Some born to win others fate to lose
E                                A   B
From the options we must choose
E                                A   B
My friend dread is right on time
E                                   A   B
Can't start to think that it is fine
E                                     A   B
Watch the tower as it starts to teeter
E                                    A   B
New lyrics follow the same old meter


[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


[Chorus]
E                        A   B
We're dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside


[Verse 2]
E                                      A   B
Butterflies, my stomach starts to heave
E                                A   B
What joyous blunder waits for me
E                                    A   B
Finished first but I missed the start
E                                A   B
Hitched the mule behind the cart
E                           A   B
Take the rose by the thorns
E                                  A   B
Hope for sun, but here's the storm
E                                 A   B
So head outside and wait for rain
E                              A   B
Watch it all go down the drain


[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


[Chorus]
E                        A   B
We're dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside


[Verse 3]
E                                A   B
We settle in but it's time to go
E                             A   B
Taken to sea by the undertow
E                                   A   B
Love the smell but I hate the taste
E                             A   B
Feeling good is such a waste
E                                 A   B
Loved the book but I hate the end
E                                  A   B
Gained a lover but I lost a friend
E                                A   B
Straight to worst, from the best
E                                   A   B
Nothin' fills that hole in my chest


[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


[Verse 4]
E               F#             C#          B
To make things worse, it all goes so fast
E               F#             C#          B
And we try to hold on as they go past
E          F#             C#          B
We need a Peter, we get a Paul
E          F#     C#          B
At least Judas had the balls
E            F#             C#          B
To make a move on these building doubts
E               F#             C#          B
About how this messiah would shake out
E               F#            C#          B
I feel the nail against my skin
E               F#             C#          B
Wait for the hammer to drive it in


[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#        B        A        C#        B         D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


[Chorus]
E                        A   B
We're dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside


E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the insidee


[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


Sh'mon


[Chorus]
(play 5 times)
E                        A   B
We're dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside



[Pre-Chorus]
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
A       G#      B       A       C#      B       D
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall


[Outro]
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
E                   A   B
Dyin' on the inside
