Intro
F# B C#
We're dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
[Verse 1]
F# B C#
Right on time here's the other shoe
F# B C#
Clouds overhead start to loom
F# B C#
Some born to win others fate to lose
F# B C#
From the options we must choose
F# B C#
My friend dread is right on time
F# B C#
Can't start to think that it is fine
F# B C#
Watch the tower as it starts to teeter
F# B C#
New lyrics follow the same old meter
[Pre-Chorus]
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]
F# B C#
We're dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
[Verse 2]
F# B C#
Butterflies, my stomach starts to heave
F# B C#
What joyous blunder waits for me
F# B C#
Finished first but I missed the start
F# B C#
Hitched the mule behind the cart
F# B C#
Take the rose by the thorns
F# B C#
Hope for sun, but here's the storm
F# B C#
So head outside and wait for rain
F# B C#
Watch it all go down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]
F# B C#
We're dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
[Verse 3]
F# B C#
We settle in but it's time to go
F# B C#
Taken to sea by the undertow
F# B C#
Love the smell but I hate the taste
F# B C#
Feeling good is such a waste
F# B C#
Loved the book but I hate the end
F# B C#
Gained a lover but I lost a friend
F# B C#
Straight to worst, from the best
F# B C#
Nothin' fills that hole in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Verse 4]
F# G# D# C#
To make things worse, it all goes so fast
F# G# D# C#
And we try to hold on as they go past
F# G# D# C#
We need a Peter, we get a Paul
F# G# D# C#
At least Judas had the balls
F# G# D# C#
To make a move on these building doubts
F# G# D# C#
About how this messiah would shake out
F# G# D# C#
I feel the nail against my skin
F# G# D# C#
Wait for the hammer to drive it in
[Pre-Chorus]
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]
F# B C#
We're dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the insidee
[Pre-Chorus]
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
B A# C# B D# C# E
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
Sh'mon
[Chorus]
(play 5 times)
F# B C#
We're dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
F# B C#
Dyin' on the inside
