[C]
So you tell me, [Am] [Dm] where you've been up to now?
[G] I don't know, they've seen [F] you come and go.
[C] Well, on your way home, [Dm] never leaving the gym,
[G] Playing C [F] on TV screens,
[C] Watching widely [Dm] to glimpse the full view,
[G] While they all have their [F] hands all over you.
[C] You say that you see me, [Dm] well I see you too.
[G] I look behind, what do you find?
[F] All by an empty [C] room,
Scratching the surface, [Dm] and you can't get away.
[G] You travel far, and so [F] far, you have [G] nothing to say.
[A] [Em] Scratching [G] the surface, you'd better come up on air,
[Am] [G] A new experience [Em] to get [F] you [G] there.
[Am] Scratching [G] the [Em] surface, you'd better [F] come up on [G] air,
[A] Strapped to [Bm] the media, a [E] machine [C] to fear.
[G] [C] [Dm]
[G] [F]
[C] You're under something, [Dm] and it slips right away.

[C] You say that you hear me, [Dm] well I hear you too.
[G] My secret, there's no secret, [F] outside of the two.
[C] So you tell me, [Dm] what you've been up to now?
[G] You're watching me, I'm watching you [F] decide.
[C] Scratching the surface, [Dm] you can't get away.
[F] You've tried [G] so hard, and so far, [F] you have nothing [G] to say.
[A] [Em] Scratching [G] the surface, [Em] you'd better come up on [G] air,
[Am] [G] Experience [Em] to get [C] you there.
[G] [A] Scratching [G] the surface, [Em] you'd better [G] come up on air,
