[G#m] Is [E]
[A] [E] [A] [E]
[Em] [C#m] [A] [E]
there ever really a right time?
You had [C#m] led me to believe [B] Someday [A] you'd be there for [B] me
[E]
When the stars above aligned When you [C#m] weren't so consumed
[B] I kept [A] looking for the [E] clues [F#m]
So I waited in [B] the shadows of my [E] [F#m] heart
And still the time was never [B] right Until [E]
one day I stopped [A] caring
[B] And [E] began to forget Why [B] I longed to be so close
And [Em] I disappeared [B] into [C#m] the darkness [G#m] And [F#m] the darkness turned to pain
[C#m] And never went away Until [F#m] all that remains
[A] Was buried [B] deep beneath [E] the surface
[F#] [A] [E]
[C#m] [A] [E]
A shell of what things could have been Tired [C#m] bones beneath the veil
[B] Of guarded [A] secrets all too [B] frail [E]
Sad to think I never knew
You were searching for the words For [A] the moment to [E] emerge
[F#m]
Yet the moment [B] never came [E] You [F#m]
couldn't risk [E] my fragile [B] frame
Until [E]
one day you stopped [A] caring [B] And [E] began to forget
Why you [B] tried to be so close And you [E]
disappeared [B] into [C#m] the darkness
[G#m] And the [F#m] darkness turned to pain [C#m] And never went away
Until [F#m] all that remains Was [A] buried [B] deep beneath the [G#m] surface
[A] [E]
[B] [G#m]
[A] [E]
[B] [G#m] I would scream just to be [A] heard As if yelling at the [E] stars
I was bleeding just to [B] feel You [G#m]
would never say a [A] word
Can't be reaching in the dark [E] I'll reach something to [B] conceal
Until [E] one day I stopped caring
And began to forget Why [B] I longed to be so close
And [E] I disappeared [B] into the [C#m]
darkness [B] And the [F#m] darkness turned to pain
[C#m] And never went away [F#m] Until all that remains
