Verse:
F C
And outside, the sky is falling
F C
People dodging raindrops, staying dry
F C
And inside, I never gave a damn about those outside people anyway
Dm Fill 1.
And it hurt me
F C
They don't even know who I am
Chorus
F C
And inside, there's no rainbows
F C
And inside, I try I try I try, I try to clear my head
Dm Fill 1. F
And outside, the rain is drying
C
And inside, I'm dying
Verse:
F C
'Cause in here, I'm staring at the rings my coffee cup has made on the table
F C
And in here, I know I know I know, that this is as good as it gets
F C
And in time I hope to be the one that talks about the other half
Dm Fill 1. F
Until then, I count the cracks on the wall
C
Until it's time to lay my head
Chorus
F C
And inside, I play with shadows
F C
And inside, I know I know I know, that I'll feel this way all day, all day
Dm Fill 1. F
And outside, there's hope for trying
C
And inside, I'm dying
