Intro
B E F#
We're dyin' on the inside
B E F#
Dyin' on the inside
B E F#
Dyin' on the inside
B E F#
Dyin' on the inside
[Verse 1]
B E F#
Right on time here's the other shoe
B E F#
Clouds overhead start to loom
B E F#
Some born to win others fate to lose
B E F#
From the options we must choose
B E F#
My friend dread is right on time
B E F#
Can't start to think that it is fine
B E F#
Watch the tower as it starts to teeter
B E F#
New lyrics follow the same old meter
[Pre-Chorus]
E D# F# E G# F# A
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]
B E F#
We're dyin' on the inside
B E F#
Dyin' on the inside
B E F#
Dyin' on the inside

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