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
