Cm7                 Eb7M
From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Bb7M                     F
Didn't recognize I'd become
  Cm7                  Eb7M
No more than alive I'd barely survive
Bb7M            F
 In a word...overrun

             Gm            F
Won't hear a sound from my mouth
               Gm                 F
I've spent too long on the inside out
           Gm                 F
My skin is cold to the human touch
              Gm                  F
This bleeding heart's not beating much

  Cm7                Eb7M
I murmured a vow of silence and now
Bb7M                           F
I don't even hear when I think aloud
  Cm7                   Eb7M
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
 Bb7M                           F
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

Fm
 I'm creeping back to life
   G4             G        
My nervous system all awry
Ab                      Bb
 I'm wearing the inside out

Cm7                   Eb7M
Look at him now, he's paler somehow
Bb7M                 F
  But he's coming around
Cm7                                 Eb7M
He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke
Bb7M                                    F
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

              Gm           F
And with these words I can see
                  Gm                 F
Clear through the clouds that covered me
             Gm                 F
Just give it time then speak my name
           Gm              F
Now we can hear ourselves again

            Gm          F
I'm holding out for the day
               Gm                F
When all these clouds have blown away
             Gm                  F
I'm with you now, can speak your name
           Gm             F
Now we can hear ourselves again
