G C
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror
Em C G D
And wondered if the person that you saw was even you
Em C G D
Everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation
C Dsus D
Nobody would ever have a clue
G C
Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to listen to your heartbeat
Em C G D
It takes you to a place that seems so vast you can't ignore
Em C G D
And all they ever see is only part of the equation
C Dsus D
Don't they realize you're so much more
G C Dsus
There's a universe inside
D Em
Which no one else can see
C Dsus D
A world inside
Em
Where I'm alone with me
D G C
You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes
D G
And never see the universe inside
G C G C
G C
We live our lives unscreened, we pass like strangers undetected
Em C G D
Buying things we do not need to cure a sickness we don't have
Em C G D
And underneath it all there lies a beauty unsuspected
C Dsus D
Revealed for just a moment when we laugh
G C
I'm scared to show what's underneath, I cover it with makeup
Em C G D
Bravery, bravado and the need to be the best
Em C G D
If I showed them what I'm hiding would I handle the rejection
C Dsus D
Stepping to the light that I possess
G C Dsus
There's a universe inside
D Em
Which no one else can see
C Dsus D
A world inside
Em
Where I'm alone with me
D G C
You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes
D G
And never see the universe inside
C
And as we walk each other home
G
The terror of the great unknown
C G
Just wish that we could see each other shining
C Em
That we would never have to be afraid of nightmares or our dreams
C D
And if you want me you know where to find me
G C Dsus D
In the universe inside
Em
'Cause you must have one too
C Dsus D
A world inside
Em
That no one ever knew
D G C
I wish I'd noticed but I never took the time
D G C G
To look beyond the surface and finally see the universe inside
G C G C
You Inside You
G C
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror
Em C G D
And wondered if the person that you saw was even you
Em C G D
Everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation
C Dsus D
Nobody would ever have a clue
G C Dsus
There's a universe inside
D Em
Which no one else can see
C Dsus D
A world inside
Em
Where I'm alone with me
D G C
I hope that someone looks into my eyes
D G
And finally sees the universe inside
