Tom : Em
B A E
[Verse 1]
C
Your mind is racing
Am
The sky took hold
Em
Of all my little daily fears
Bm
They never seem to go
C
A dusty vista
Am
You hunger for the cold
Em
I never meant to take it so far
Bm
A mirror never shows
[Chorus]
Am
Who I am beneath the surface
Em D
Hiding out so long inside my mind
Am
Every day I stay blind to it
Em
Habit comes and tears me open wide
D
All the time
[Instrumental]
B A E
[Verse 2]
C
Your heart is racing
Am
The time just froze
Em
And left me with little doubt
D
That there's anywhere to go
C
I'm pushing forward
Am
To leave this home
Em
I never meant to stay so long
D
My reflection never shows
[Chorus]
[Outro 2x]
C G F#
Bm (2x)
C G F# Bm
Since I was a young boy it was always there
C G F# Bm
Inside me growing none of it seems fair
C G F# Bm
I've grown to accept it, let it take the stage
C G F# Bm
And leave me helpless, watching far away
[Outro Instrumental]
C
