Beneath the surface

E

Is there ever really a right time
C#m
You had led me to believe
Asus2 E
Some day you'd be there for me

When the stars above aligned
C#m
When you weren't so consumed
Asus2
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

E Asus2
Until one day I stopped caring
E
And began to forget
B
Why I longed to be so close
E C#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
F#m
And the darkness turned to pain
C#m
And never went away
F#m Asus2
Until all that remained was buried
B E
Deep beneath the surface

E
A shell of what things could've been
C#m
Tired bones beneath the veil
Asus2 E
Of guarded secrets all to frail

Sad to think I never knew
C#m
You were searching for the words
Asus2
For the moment to emerge

F#m B
Yet the moment never came
F#m B
You couldn't risk my fragile frame

E Asus2
Until one day you stopped caring
E
And began to forget

B
Why I tried to be so close
E C#m
And you disappeared into the darkness
F#m
And the darkness turned to pain
C#m
And never went away
F#m Asus2
Until all that remained was buried
B G#m A E B G#m A E B
Deep beneath the surface

G#m A
I would scream just to be heard
E
As if yelling at the stars
B
I was bleeding just to feel

G#m A
You would never say a word
E
Kept me reaching in the dark
B
Always something to conceal

E Asus2
Until one day I stopped caring
E
And began to forget
B
Why I longed to be so close
E C#m
And I disappeared into the darkness
F#m
And the darkness turned to pain
C#m
And never went away
F#m Asus2
Until all that remained was buried
B E
Deep beneath the surface
