Wearing the Inside Out

     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
