[INTRO - THEME]
| E | E/G# A | E | F#m A |
| E | E/G# A | E | C#m A |
[Verse 1]
E E/G#
Is there ever really a right time?
C#m A
You had led me to believe someday you'll be there for me
E E/G#
When the stars above the light
C#m A
When you weren't so consumed I kept looking for the clues
F#m B
So I waited in the shadows of my heart
F#m B
And still the time was never right
[Chorus 1]
E A
Until one day I stopped caring
E B
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
E C#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B E
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
[INTERLUDE 1 - THEME]
| E | E/G# A | E | F#m A |
| E | E/G# A | E | C#m A |
[Verse 2]
E E/G#
A shallow of what things could've been
C#m A
Tired bones beneath of them I've guarded secrets out your frame
E E/G#
Sort of thing I never knew
C#m A
You were searching for the words, for the moment to emerge
F#m B
Yet the moment never came
F#m B
You couldn't risk my fragile frame
[Chorus 2]
E A
Until one day you stopped caring
E B
And began to forget why I tried to be so close
E C#m
And you disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B E/G#
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
[Interlude 2]
| G#m | A | E | B |
| G#m | A | E | B |
[MID-8]
G#m A
I would scream just to be heard
E B
As if yelling at the stars, I was bleeding just to feel
G#m A
You would never say a word
E B B (let ring)
Kept me reaching in the dark, always something to conceal
[Chorus 3]
E Emaj7 E4 (let ring)
Until one day I stopped caring
E B
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
E C#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B E
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
